Storyline

Rudy lives in a poor suburb of Antwerp. He suffers from a disability and is trying to get his life back on track. But it is his elder brother Frank, who has just been released from prison, who gives him the most trouble. Rudy decides to treat Frank to a trip to the Ardennes - the place where they experienced happiness of a sort when they were children, in the hope of making Frank realise that things cannot continue like this. Against all expectations, Frank goes along with the idea and takes Stef, his loud and nasty buddy, with him. Something that Rudy was not really hoping for.

Rudy discovers that his brother and his nasty buddy killed someone. He doesn't want to have anything to do with it, but Frank reminds him that he never grassed him up during those three years Frank was in prison, even though Rudy was also involved in the robbery that Frank had botched up. Rudy, in shock, runs away and makes an attempt to turn them in, but at the moment there is no-one around at the Walloon police station except for a secretary, who is not very convinced of the truth of Rudy's hazy story...
