Philip and Henning, both 15 years old, live in the small village of Mysen, close to the border between Norway and Sweden. They are classmates and neighbors, but also secretly in love. While secretly meeting at a gravel pit in the nearby forest, they witness the shooting of four members of a criminal gang. The boys are also threatened by the killer, but they manage to overpower him and escape with the murder weapon. To avoid revealing their relationship, they decide to remain silent about being at the scene of the crime.
