Alle sorgen sich um die hitzköpfige sechzehnjährige Lieke, die gerade erst ihre Mutter verloren hat. Einzig im Schwimmbecken findet Lieke immer etwas Trost. Sie ist ein großes Talent im Tauchen, genießt jede Trainingseinheit mit ihrem Coach Jorg. Hier geht es Lieke gut – bis sich Jorg dazu entschließt, ein weiteres Mädchen zu trainieren. Die eifersüchtige Teenagerin versucht, sich zusammenzureißen, doch langsam aber sicher verliert Lieke die Kontrolle über sich selbst …

Everyone is concerned about fiery sixteen-year-old Lieke who just lost her mother. Despite her grief, Lieke finds healing in the swimming pool where, as a great diving talent, she enjoys the training sessions with her coach Jorg. Lieke is managing fine. Until Jorg decides to train an additional girl. Jealous Lieke tries to keep herself in check, yet slowly but surely she loses control over herself. In the chaos she unleashes, Lieke becomes the girl everyone is so afraid of, most of all she herself.
