Five friends on the verge of adulthood – but their graduation night changes everything.
“This is the night we have to die. Devoured by the monster and then reborn.” Suse, Pavlow, Maja, Tolga, and Bo are friends. They’ve been close friends for many years. Now, they are on the brink of adulthood. After this day – and this night – school will finally be over, and real life awaits them. Together, they decide to do everything they have not yet dared to do by the next morning. Each of them has unfinished business and inner monsters to overcome. But things get out of hand. And after their night together, nothing will be the same as before.
