Bologna, 1992. Alex D., diciassette anni, figlio modello della buona borghesia, decide di "uscire dal gruppo", di rompere gli schemi, di fare un "salto" fuori dal "cerchio che ci hanno disegnato attorno". In una parola, cresce. Lo fa attraverso le pedalate disperate su in collina, la musica furibonda dei Sex Pistols e degli Hot Chili Peppers, l''amore di Adelaide, la sofferenza per la perdita dell''amico Martino... Senza gesti eclatanti, Alex volta le spalle a tutto e a tutti, in nome di un presente libero e felice, di una umanissima richiesta di autenticita.

Nelle pagine di questo romanzo-manifesto adottato da piu generazioni di adolescenti, un autore giovanissimo ha raccontato gli smarrimenti e gli ardori dei diciott''anni: una storia fresca e intensa, narrata senza filtri da una voce nuova, capace di fondere rabbia e ironia.
