An extra body in the Technion medical faculty's dissecting room opens a murder inquiry that shakes Iris Abramov, a detective whose marriage is ending and who keeps mementoes from crime scenes. Her story meets that of Idan Luria, a privileged teenager who flees his family for a commune governed by vague rules. Later come Noah Keni, a crushed bank employee whom a wish for revenge transforms, and his son Yotam, who, instead of climbing Everest after the army, drifts through Haifa's lower city hearing the voice of his late mother. Over twenty years their paths and hopes brush against each other, each of them yearning for a freedom out of reach and for an opening to the sea.
