      Gurion Maccabee is een krankzinnig, wijs, grappig, onverbeterlijk, verontrustend en goddelijk geïnspireerd jochie van tien jaar. Hij is van zo'n beetje elke Joodse school in Chicago getrapt en wordt op zijn nieuwe school direct in De Kooi ondergebracht: een gesloten programma voor kinderen met gedragsproblemen. Daar ontpopt hij zich echter al snel als de ultieme leider, met messianistische aspiraties. Wat volgt is een angstaanjagende les in hoe de onderdrukking van menselijke en creatieve vrijheid, in combinatie met religieuze hartstocht en de energie van de jeugd, extremistisch gedrag in de hand werkt.
