The story takes place in Hurmevaara, a small Finnish village, where a meteorite crashes into a car. The town’s mayor believes the meteorite could help save the struggling village, so local priest Joel is tasked with guarding it before it’s sent for evaluation.

At the same time, he faces a personal crisis—his wife is pregnant, but he knows he cannot have children due to an old war injury.
