Take one man traveling down the highway.
Imagine him without mercy.
Call him the Traveler and fear him.

Take five girls who open the door to chaos and watch them run.
Put five kilos of heroin and a gun in their luggage.
Call them the Sweet Nightmares and fear them.

Take a father haunted by his past who never forgets a grudge.
Call him the Kingpin and don’t go near him.

All hurtle toward each other.
Full of revenge, they have no idea that
YOU
are watching them.

It’s a late-summer night in Berlin and notorious criminal Ragnar Desche isn’t too happy. He’s just found his brother, Oskar, dead, frozen stiff and sitting in his home next to a swimming pool full of marijuana plants. Someone’s flooded the pool and stolen a Range Rover, but what’s worse is that Ragnar’s huge cache of drugs is missing—and he’s going to want it back.

Meanwhile, nearby, a group of teenage girls are out at the movies. Thinking about boys and worrying about acne, they notice that the prettiest member of their clique is missing. She hasn’t been seen for days, and the trouble she’s found herself in is about to set all of the girls on a collision course with the Desche gang and drag them into a fight for their lives—a fight that might turn out to be more evenly matched than it first appears.

A gritty, pulsating, psychological thriller told through the eyes of an enormous cast of characters, You is an audacious and unpredictable combination of pulp, pluck, and revenge.

Work Description

Nimm einen Mann, der durch ganz Deutschland reist und keine Gnade kennt. Wo er hinkommt, bleibt niemand am Leben. Nenn ihn 'Der Reisende', mach ihn zum Mythos und fürchte ihn. Nimm fünf Freundinnen, die erst dem Chaos die Tür öffnen und dann die Flucht ergreifen. Leg ihnen fünf Kilo Heroin und eine Waffe ins Gepäck. Nenn sie 'Die süßen Schlampen' und fürchte sie. Nimm einen Vater, der verfolgt wird von seiner Vergangenheit und es ganz und gar nicht komisch findet, dass sein Heroin verschwunden ist. Stell dir vor, dieser Vater hat nur ein einziges Ziel: Er will die fünf Freundinnen aufhalten. Um jeden Preis. Nenn ihn 'Der Logist' und meide ihn. Sie alle bewegen sich aufeinander zu, sie sind voller Rache und haben keine Ahnung, dass du sie beobachtest. Zoran Drvenkar legt nach Sorry erneut einen äußerst raffiniert komponierten Roman vor. Um Freundschaft und Angst geht es - und um die dunkle Sehnsucht des Menschen nach Chaos und Grausamkeit.
