Primero fue Reuben, lobo feroz con sierras en lugar de dientes; luego Archer, rubio, bello y letal; y finalmente llegó Frosty, una bola afable y rencorosa. Son los tres perros salvajes y leales que llegan a casa de los Zusak para poner patas arriba a la familia y, al mismo tiempo, completarla. Lo que sigue resulta inevitable: peleas callejeras, rifirrafes en el parque, daños corporales y psicológicos, tragedia y amor encarnizados, pero, sobre todo, la configuración de una constelación de afectos en torno a la necesidad humana (y animal) de pertenecer a un clan.

In Eds Briefkasten liegt – eine Spielkarte. Darauf stehen drei Adressen. Die Neugier treibt Ed zu diesen Orten, doch was er dort sieht, bestürzt ihn zutiefst: drei unerträglich schwere Schicksale, Menschen, die sich nicht selbst aus ihrem Elend befreien können. Dreimal fasst er sich ein Herz, dreimal verändert er Leben. Da flattert ihm die nächste Karte ins Haus. Wer schickt ihn auf diese eigenartige Mission?

Rube never loved any of them. He never cared about any of them. He just wanted each one because she was next, and why not take the next thing if it was better than the last?

Cameron and Ruben have always been loyal brothers, but that loyalty is about to be tested to the limit when Cam falls for Octavia - Rube's latest girlfriend. Will he get the girl? Will his love for her tear their brotherly bond apart?
