One day in December 2000, author Claus Beck-Nielsen took the distinctive "Beck-" out of his name; he left his apartment, wife and child and went out onto the street as Claus Nielsen, a man without a registration number. It became the beginning of a personal and familial tragedy.

The book has been the object of much debate all over Scandinavia and was published in Norwegian translation in 2006 by the prestigious publishing house Oktober.
