Simone is a shy boy and a good student. He is unhappy because his classmates rate him as just a “nerd” and the girl he loves doesn’t take any notice of him. One day he does the “right thing” and becomes popular with the guys who spend their free time at the Area 19. He is finally one of them, sharing his classmates’ games but also their dangerous life.
