Tá Willem-Jan deich mbliana go leith d’aois. Cuirtear cor ina shaol nuair a shocraíonn sé nach maith leis an t-ainm Willem-Jan agus gur Maistín an t-ainm a bheidh air feasta. Éalaíonn sé leis ón mbaile is tugann a aghaidh ar shoilse mealltacha na gealchathrach. Cuireann sé eolas ar shaol urchóideach eile nuair a bhuaileann sé le cailín sé bliana déag d’aois, Ine, ar striapach í, agus le fear siúil atá tugtha don ól.
Willem-Jan is ten and a half years old. One day he decides that he doesn’t like his name and that he wants to be called ‘Maistín’ from now on. He leaves not only his old name behind but also his family and heads for the bright lights of the city. There he is exposed to the seedier side of life.
