Instead, he leads an encapsulated life with his mother. He fails to resolve to permanently from their own goals and lives without meaning. When he is thirty years old, he's planning even a murder. Now he kills the murderer of his father, who received for their actions only a prison sentence of five and a half years. After Indeed, he flees to New York. Twenty-three days he has time - longer not enough money - to himself and the reader accountability. If the fact to justify in any way? Should he face? Or will he finally be able to live a life of its own?

In the second part, he says coldly and precisely from the preparation and execution of the deed. These diary entries from New York but also of his attest simultaneously naive and self-righteous desire, with the completed act of revenge again inner peace - and sleep - to be found.
