Synopsys 

At daytime Ervin works as a teacher in a suburban school where he tries to survive among the deviant students and apathetic teachers. At night he spends every minutes to finish his first comic book for a little publishing house. He tirelessly draws his noir world where gangsters and corrupt policemen fight the local man of justice, the private investigator.
One day he finds one of his students with serious injuries in the schoolyard and he suspects that’s not an accident. Ervin tries to investigate the case while the atmosphere around him begins to change, it seems the noir-world from his comics starts to appear beyond the school walls and his character slowly turns into his protagonist, the private investigator.

Ervin rajztanárként dolgozik egy külvárosi iskolában, ahol unott diákok és fásult kollégák között próbál helytállni nap mint nap. Éjszakáit azonban igazi szenvedélyével tölti: fáradhatatlanul rajzolja első képregényét, film noirba illő sötét sikátorokkal, gengszterekkel, valamint egy igazságos magánzsaruval, aki történetének főszereplője. Amikor az egyik diák súlyos balesetet szenved az iskolában, felébred benne a gyanú, hogy ez talán nem a véletlen műve. Nyomozásba kezd, melynek során képregényének világa és az iskola közege kezd összemosódni, Ervin és a magánnyomozó karaktere pedig lassan eggyé válik.
