This is an automatically translated description

Twelve-year-old Matthew Corbin hasn't been to school for weeks and refuses to leave his house. Fearing germs, he is forced to look at the world through the window of his perfectly clean room, which is why the children in the yard have nicknamed him the Goldfish Boy. The only safe entertainment for him is to watch his neighbours from the window and take notes about them.

However, when a neighbour's baby disappears without a trace, it becomes clear that Matthew is the last person to see him, and perhaps the only clue. He can't stand by and, of course, he starts investigating. But is the Goldfish Boy up to it, if it means revealing his own secrets and leaving home for a dangerous world?
