Toivo Vaarala is a shy postcard-photographer on a shooting trip in Lapland. One day he acciden- tally crashes the car of a local woman, Ansa.
Without her car the woman is helpless; the roof of her house is leaking and she still has to fi x it before the winter. Plus she should have already been on her way to Norway for work. Vaarala is obliged to help her. And in so doing, he falls in love with this restless, attractive woman. But the timing couldn’t possibly be worse.
Ansa’s ex-husband, Ismo Sonka, has just returned. He has served four years in prison for kill- ing an innocent man out of jealousy for Ansa. And during those years, Ansa has borrowed huge sums of money from Ismo’s brother, Martti Raate, who is secretly in love with her. The clock is ticking and the time for pay-back has come – but Ansa doesn’t know it yet.
And Toivo Vaarala, this well-meaning, good-hearted man is totally unaware of what is soon coming. As he fi xes the roof and plans for the future – he fi nds himself caught up in the turmoil of all the things we do for love.

The body of a young woman is found in the region of Ostrobothnia.
This launches the strangest case in Vares’s career. He travels to a small, languishing village gripped by a powerful sect. The village seems to be full of stranger-than-life characters. Vares attends a local sermon and succeeds in arousing the wrath of the village’s police chief. Wherever Vares goes he is met by increasingly bizarre events. The fi ling cabinets of the local psychiatric hospital hide dark secrets and the senior physician seems to have half the village as his patients.
Old accomplices meet in order to settle a score – at the same time, Vares comes awfully close to the end of his worldly existence..
