The tank full of water is owned by the company of a certain Juhana Lehmusoja, whose family belongs to the top ten thousand in Finland. Police inspector Paula Pihlaja gets the case, and the threads of the investigation lead to the Lehmusoja clan's African deals years ago and to an adopted child...
Meanwhile, Paula also faces challenges in her personal life. She was forced to give up her young baby for adoption, and the boy, now in his twenties, is imprisoned for murder.
