Recently divorced postal worker Ilmari Nieminen has promised his daughter a piano for Christmas, but with six days to go – and no money – he's desperate. A last-minute job offers a solution: transport a valuable antique sofa to Kilpisjärvi, the northernmost town in Finland. With the sofa secured in the back of his van, Ilmari stops at a gas station, and an old friend turns up, offering to fix his faulty steering wheel, on the condition that he tags along. Soon after, a persistent Saab 96 appears in the rearview mirror. And then a bright-yellow Lada.

What makes life perfect? Insurance mathematician Henri Koskinen knows the answer because he calculates everything down to the last decimal. And then, Henri is faced with the incalculable. After suddenly losing his job, Henri inherits an adventure park from his brother - its troubling financial problems included.

He meets Laura, an artist with a joie de vivre and erratic lifestyle that bewilders him.

Jan Nyman, the ace detective of the covert operations unit of the National Central Police, is sent to a sleepy seaside town to investigate a mysterious death.

Insurance mathematician Henri Koskinen has just restored order in his life, as well as in the adventure park he now owns, when a man from the past appears—and turns everything upside down again. More problems arise when the park's equipment supplier is taken over by a shady trio: Why won't Suomen Leikki Ltd sell the new Moose Jump to Henri when he needs it for the park's main attraction? At the same time, Henri's relationship with the artist Laura Helanto is reaching a breaking point.

Henri Koskinen firmly believes in the power of common sense and order. That is until he moves in with Laura Helanto and her daughter.

Is it possible to combine the increasingly dangerous world of the adventure-park business with the unpredictability of life in a blended family? At first glance, the two appear to have only one thing in common: neither deals particularly well with a mounting body count.

Versicherungsmathematiker Henri Koskinen hat gerade sein Leben und den ererbten Abenteuerpark wieder in Ordnung gebracht, als ein Mann aus seiner Vergangenheit auftaucht und alles auf den Kopf stellt.

Eine Kleinstadt im finnischen Nirgendwo. Der neue Investor hat den Ort in "Palm Beach, Finland" umgetauft, warum auch nicht? Alles erinnert an "Miami Vice" und "Baywatch": Die Namen der farbenfroh überstrichenen maroden Hütten, die hautengen Badeanzüge der Rettungsschwimmer, das überdimensionale Werbebanner am Ortseingang. Davon abgesehen unterscheidet sich das Küstennest kaum von den anderen traurigen Badeorten der Umgebung. Olivia Kosk ist nach gescheiterter Ehe gerade erst dorthin zurückgekehrt, als sie einen fremden Mann in ihrer Küche auffindet. Ermordet. Ziemlich unschön.
