Three parallel stories. Birgitta decides to end her apartment lease to move in with yet another man, leaving her son, Simon, without a place to stay. Simon's dad, Tomas, seems like the only one to turn to, but he has long since given up on the world and now finds his sole company with the dead. Lina asks for a divorce, which promts Gunnar to start writing a book on the cruel ways of love and marriage. Their newly graduated adoptive son, Björn, is forced out into the world and into an apartment of his own, where he ponders identity and being, thoughts that lead him into unknown and unexpected territory. Ida and Kristoffer share a tragical heritage which they are struggeling to break free from.
