The film is based on real events. The story takes place on a small island in Norway called Bastøy, where many young offenders are held, the youngest of whom is only 11 years old, and the oldest is just 18. Every day, in this closed and oppressive environment, the children are forced to do overloading work, as it is the only way they can get enough food to survive. In this place, beatings and verbal abuse are commonplace, often triggered by a minor mistake, and sometimes even without any reason at all. In such a terrible environment, the inmates are conditioned, and no one thinks of resisting. Seventeen-year-old Erlend (played by Benjamin Helstad) has just arrived at this island of demons, the place where he will serve his sentence. The brutal life on the island makes Erlend feel hopeless, and when the oppression from the guards reaches a breaking point and leads to tragedy, it is Erlend who leads his companions in a violent revolt. Just as Erlend seizes control of the island, a 150-man army sent by the Norwegian government is rapidly approaching.
