: The story centers on 17-year-old Daan (Spencer Bogaert). Two years after the tragic death of his older brother Robbie, his family is falling apart. His mother, Nina (Tine Reymer), is locked in her own grief, while his father, Filip (Koen De Bouw), escapes by burying himself in work. This leaves Daan alone, forced to deal with the emotional fallout on his own.
