Weil sie des Diebstahls verdächtigt werden, laufen Nathan und Julia zusammen weg. Aus der einstigen Zweckgemeinschaft erwächst bald eine echte Freundschaft. Niemand mag Julia und Nathan, die Außenseiter in der Klasse. Aber als sie Geld finden, verwandelt sich die Abneigung der Klassenkameraden in Sympathie. Gekaufte Sympathie. Der plötzliche Reichtum der Kinder fällt den Lehrern auf, die Eltern werden in die Schule bestellt und damit wird die Sache für Nathan und Julia problematisch. Jetzt müssen sie zusammenhalten. Aber das ist gar nicht so einfach, denn eigentlich mögen sie sich nicht. Die beiden sehen nur noch einen Ausweg: Sie laufen zusammen weg. Eine abenteuerliche Irrfahrt beginnt, auf der sie vor allem eines erfahren: wie wichtig es ist, sich aufeinander verlassen zu können.
