Kimi is a young guy whose parents are rich. Of course, this has affected to his life. He is kind of an leader in his own gang. He has always got everything and now he wants more money. Unfortunately his business partner is not that nice as he tries to be. Kimi realises this and gets an idea that is going to destroy many futures.

This movie is based on a case that happened not-so-long-a-go in Finland. The movie starts well and it looks kind of interesting. But before half of it has passed, it's clear that it's only a nicely wrapped collection of cliches about being young and restless. Still, Reino Nordin is pretty good as the movie's young baddie. The players of his gang, especially Julius Lavonen, make their characters look and sound very realistic. The female cast is terribly wasted.
