16-year-old Erik's life is tainted by violence and conflict. He is sent to the boarding school as a last chance to break free from his old life. But the school is hardly a refuge - here evil is systemized in the form of the condoned oppression of younger students. Can Erik revolt against the harassments without breaking the rules? Can he maintain dignity without being drawn into the violent spiral? "Evil" is a story of violence and the way through it, but also about genuine friendship and the beginnings of love.
