Every year, Elina Ylijaako returns to her hometown in eastern Lapland, a bleak wilderness that operates by its own rules. She has three days to catch a pike, but this year nothing goes as planned. When a water spirit appears in the swamps and obstructs her path, her fishing trip turns into a life-and-death adventure. Meanwhile, a policewoman, investigating a murder, becomes entangled in the mysterious activities of magical beings. Magic and reality blur, yet in eastern Lapland, this seems to go unnoticed.
