Everything around him is still the same as before: everyday life with his mother, the routes through the city, school, classmates, the theater group. But Felix has changed since his swimming coach crossed a line that no one is allowed to cross without consent. Felix was blindsided and since then he feels dirty, worthless and unlovable. The memory haunts him like a monster that appears when he least expects it.
Felix desperately must keep secret what has happened, he feels ashamed. He withdraws from the people around him and when friends get close to him, he becomes aggressive. Only with his schoolmate Alva and with his grandparents he feels safe. But the monster won't rest until Felix's secret comes to light.
