Dokumentaren baserer seg på en virkelighetsnær historie om hvordan små avgjørelser kan føre til store konsekvenser. Historien baserer seg på fortellingen om Ove Andre. Ove var kun 9 år gammel da han eksperimenterte med rusmidler for første gang. Her vil du få et sterkt innblikk i hvordan en ung sårbar gutt utviklet rusavhengighet og hvor store konsekvenser dette kan gi et menneske. Ove er også en av få personer som har klart å snu om på livet, og bruker sine personlige erfaringer med å hjelpe andre i lignende situasjoner. I filmen er det rekonstruerte scener fra Ove`s barndom, og klipp av Ove selv.
