Both worked as officers in the army and so Tom and Fien go to the barracks to look for a starting point. They soon find one in person of Dieter Landuyt, a newcomer who felt humiliated after his baptism by "the fantastic four", a group of close friends consisting of Kris and his colleagues Steven, Rudy and Bruno.
