A woman, carrying the heaviest kind of grief, walks south from Jokkmokk towards Kåbdalis, and a simple five-verse song takes shape in her, each line making her lighter. Around her the book gathers odd characters who are on the move and chafe against life. The stories deal with wanting to be seen and wanting to be wanted, with Aliens screened by the Pite river, with a struggling band called Personligt Varumärke touring Europe and its tensions, and with heading out into the dark towards Glommersträsk.
