After spending several weeks in Italy with her lover David Stahl, Gilya Ilveskero wakes up one morning to discover that he has disappeared without a trace. And in the evening, here, on the sofa, is the corpse of an unknown man. In his pocket, Hilja finds David's phone, and in the locked drawers of the chest of drawers - a mysterious letter and a kaleidoscope. She returns home to Finland and tries to solve the mystery of her lover's disappearance. And she soon learns that she is not alone in this: an employee of the National Bureau of Investigation is also busy searching for David, and at the same time keeping an eye on Hilja. And it also seems that the international mafia has something to do with what is happening. On Gilya’s side, only constable Teppo Laitio smells of cigars - a formidable lion of justice, ready to risk his position, or even his life, for the sake of justice.
