Dominik is an ordinary boy. He's got loads of friends, the hottest
girl in school, rich parents and money to spend on brand-name clothes
and any amusement ever possible. But one innocent kiss with a mate
changes everything.
He begins to isolate himself from the outside world, spending all his
time on his computer. He meets an anonymous girl who introduces him to
the "Suicide room", a place from which there is no escape. Caught in a
trap woven of his own emotions, Dominik becomes entangled in a web of
intrigue and gradually loses what he cherishes most.
