Everything is on track in the life of the beloved but eccentric surgeon Petteri Holopainen but when a patient close to him is rushed to the hospital, nothing can go back to the way it was. Holopainen loses everything he holds dear. When a familiar person from the past enters his life, Holopainen must decide what still matters.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
