December 8, 1980. In New York, John Lennon is murdered. For fifteen-year-old Anders, it’s a tragedy, because he’s the only Beatles fan in his school. His classmates try to harass Anders, but he also has friends—Frude and Brigt. And the math teacher, nicknamed “Sausage,” is also a Beatles fan. This is a story about friendship and music, about first love and crazy actions, about loss and grief. In short, about what it’s like to be a teenager.
