The story is set against the backdrop of the Östersjön archipelago and revolves around the character of Intendenten Borg, a fisheries inspector tasked with investigating the decline of local fishing. As he navigates both the waters and the intricate dynamics of the fishing community, the narrative explores themes of nature, isolation, and the quest for meaning amidst turbulent circumstances. The opening of the novel introduces us to the tense atmosphere aboard a small boat in the Östersjön, where Intendenten Borg grapples with his fears and anxieties about sailing. The crew’s interactions hint at the socio-political undercurrents of the fishing community, with Borg being perceived as an outsider who brings unwelcome scrutiny to their practices. As the boat encounters rough waters, the precariousness of both the journey and Borg’s situation becomes evident. His exposure to the harshness of nature contrasts sharply with his scientific pursuits, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of his character and the challenges he faces as he attempts to fulfill his responsibilities in an unforgiving environment.
