A strange virus attacks the inhabitants of Sisimiut during the first weeks of summer. Furthermore, the new cruise terminal is expected finished by mid August – but will it be ready? On top of that more than just a couple of elderly people die. This all concerns the government whereas the press has a field day in a, normally, rather slow season.

After several years in Denmark, she has longed to return to Greenland where everything is the same, yet everything has changed; Sika needs to realise that she can’t escape her past.
