The story follows the protagonist, Krankkalan Hannu, a middle-aged man who reflects on his past as a former scout leader while grappling with feelings of obsolescence. As he navigates the changing landscape around him, including the community and his own personal challenges, he yearns for a return to his adventurous roots. The opening of the novel introduces Hannu as he walks through a snow-laden landscape, contemplating the decline of his home and his place in it. He experiences a mix of pride and frustration as he listens to a local girl singing songs of legendary heroes, and he feels overlooked despite his own contributions in the past. Tensions arise within his household, particularly with his sister and daughter, who question his ambitions and lifestyle choices. As the story develops, sickness of both body and spirit suggests that Hannu’s past adventures may soon call him back into an uncertain future, where the fuse of his adventurous spirit is reignited by the prospect of renewed military duty from the crown.
