Musically-talented, but socially-challenged Henry, age 14, arrives at a private boarding school for music students at the beginning of the new school year and discovers there his fascination with playing the organ. From this fascination arises a general love for the instrument; playing it offers him a refuge from the bullying his fellow students serve him. His teacher, Ms. Schmidt, recognizes his talent. Her growing interest in Henry, however, further worsens his position with his roommates Erik, Mik, and Sebi. Erik feels that his status as the school's prodigy is threatened; his talent as an organist has saved him from relegation for years. Erik rules the school and goes with Melanie, who has had Henry under her spell since he first arrived at the school. Erik and his minions Sebi and Mik do all they can to make Henry's life a living hell.
