The novel tells three linked stories. In the 1990s, as Slovenia becomes independent, Tomaž Lakner makes money smuggling migrants across the border, buys a bar, loses everything in a failed deal and ends up driving lorries across Eastern Europe, where separatists demand from him a case of documents he knows nothing about. Going back in time, the revolutionary Tomaž D. Luckner fights in the Spanish Civil War, wanders Europe, joins the partisans and after the war is sent to the prison island of Goli otok. Finally the apostle Thomas receives three secrets from Jesus that he may tell no one. Mysterious papers whose contents are never revealed connect the three men.
