Three strangers meet on the road to the sea, each carrying a past and a guilt. Relja wants out of the humiliations of everyday life in transitional Belgrade; Jana is driven by grief and the wish for revenge, and perhaps hopes for peace; Pepolo, forever on the run from the system and from himself, chases a butterfly that maybe only he can see. Told in fragments, memories and YouTube clips, the novel turns each killer into a victim, a narrator and a figure in someone else's dream.
