Fonceur, tenace et plein de ressources, Jack, dix ans à peine, est déjà seul responsable de sa famille : son petit frère Manuel, six ans, et leur mère célibataire aimante, mais totalement immature, Sanna, qui travaille la journée et fait la fête la nuit. Mais cet homme de la maison en culottes courtes n’est pas infaillible et un événement va venir bouleverser le quotidien de ce trio. Les services de protection de l’enfance décident alors de retirer la garde des deux garçons à la jeune femme et de placer Jack dans un centre d’hébergement..

Jack est un garçon d'une dizaine d'années qui vit à Berlin. Il n'a pas connu son père et a un demi-frère, Manuel, âgé de 6 ans, d'un autre père, lui aussi absent. Leur mère, Sanna, qui travaille épisodiquement dans le milieu musical underground est plutôt immature et volage, peu apte à gérer cette famille décomposée. Jack, débrouillard et obstiné, est finalement le plus lucide de la maison, prenant en charge les tâches courantes car sa mère est très souvent absente.
