When the digital-mad Benjamin turns 18, he inherits a box of ancient artefacts from his missing father. He gives an antique book to Slien, a girl he has his eye on, and unintentionally sets off a chain reaction. An old man called Zeppos is also very interested in the book, which once belonged to the cartographer Mercator. Using the secret messages in Mercator's book, the trio uncover a mystery, while having to stay one step ahead of a shadowy rival.

Pim lives in a run-down house in a dead-end street somewhere on the Flanders coast, together with his mother Yvette Bulteel. Life here smells of cold French fries, cheap cigarettes, vermouth and stale beer. As a kid, Pim dreams of a better life, imagining princesses and beauty queens. But when Pim turns sixteen, he begins dreaming of Gino, the handsome boy next door, instead.
