Stijn Bekkering's wife dies in a road accident while he lies comatose; he misses both her last moments and her funeral. Soon after, his married son Harry walks out on his wife Sandra and disappears. Word comes that Harry was seen in a remote Canadian town, and Stijn goes after him. There, in forest country thick with tales and mysteries, he settles down, minds a junk shop, lives with young Tracy and befriends the imposing artist Bruce Grady, who studies the Maori.
