Business is poor at the hot-dog stand Conny Erlandsson runs in the square of Skoghall, a shrinking paper-mill town in Värmland, and he has had no spark since his marriage to Elisabet ended. Next summer an art festival will bring outsiders to town. In brief chapters the book circles Elisabet, on whom others' lives depend, while an old tramp, Roger, helps Conny back to cooking and living.
