Slake, a young orphan, only knows abuse from his classmates and teachers. Taken in by his aunt, he habitually takes refuge in the subway. One day, he decides not to go back up and gradually builds an underground life of his own.
This hole seemed to constitute a "room" in the subway. Some stones and pieces of wood lay on the ground. Slake sat down, his back against the back wall. In fact, as it appeared later, Slake had just moved into his house. Slake is a lonely orphan. The few contacts he knows are the practical jokes, the blows of his classmates, of his teachers, of the vague aunt who is supposed to raise him. So, Slake has made it a habit to take refuge in the subway. One day darker than another, he decides not to go back up... One hundred and twenty-one days alone in the New York subway.
