Comedy about a boy who is bullied and therefore decides to boost his image by saying that he belongs to a mafia family. Rik Boskamp, son of a nerdy accountant, will not be bullied. Inspired by a mafia film he gets an idea. He causes his elders to move and that his father is looked at for the dangerous mafia boss Paulo Boskampi in the new village. It soon turns out to work the plan. Rikkie Boskampi is no longer bullied, everyone is afraid of Paulo and treats them with respect. Until a bully from the past emerges. How long Rikkie may lie still before its discovered? This family film is based on the book by Marjon Hoffman.

Motherless schoolboy Rikkie's life is hard as class bullies pick on him, son of spineless accountant Paul Boskamp. When his father hesitates to accept a lucrative promotion offer, Rikkie grabs the unique opportunity, as it means moving to a suburban villa with budget for a macho makeover and starting over at a new school. There Rikkie even pretends they're the 'Boskampi' mafia family, recruiting the Italian pizzeria owner Gina's retard giant brother Anton as his 'mob goon'. Things get complicated when Roderick transfers from his old school and the local neighborhood watch fanatic, retired brainless beat cop Fred, tries to send to police after them, while the not-amused real mob gets wind of a 'rival'.—KGF Vissers
