Markus is in an institution for young sex offenders. He is a shy boy whose face tells wordless stories. There is no physical intimacy to be found, so the inmates wrestle. It is a place where skinlessness quivers in the air. Markus's only friend inside is the wayward, violent Tobias. Markus's trial approaches, and then Tobias will find out why Markus has been locked up.
