One rainy night Dorka, in her twenties, has an accident and is taken to hospital unconscious. While her father tries to find out what happened, he meets Zsófi, who lives near the scene and is raising her wayward teenage brother in place of their parents. The man and the young woman affect each other strangely: he clings to Zsófi, in whom he seems to see his own daughter, and feels an inexplicable desire for her; she returns the attraction but senses she is only a substitute. The accident changes four lives, and these four people narrate the novel as each tries to start again.
