Es ist Johns erster Schultag. Unerwartet taucht sein elfjähriger großer Bruder Mika auf, um ihm zur Schulversammlung zu folgen. Aber Mika hat andere Pläne, als John nur zur Schule zu bringen. Mika sieht es als seine Mission an, John die harten Fakten der Welt beizubringen, angefangen bei den gnadenlosen Forderungen des Schulhofes.
