When she comes across a middle-aged man harassing teenage girls, Henrietta steps in to defend them. In her zeal, the altercation turns physical, and the police are called.
While questioning Henrietta at the station, officer Markus Reetama realizes something mystical is taking place. He is used to maintaining a strict line between his work and his personal feelings, but an inexplicable attraction compels him to discover who this woman sitting across from him is.
So begins a titillating love story that both Henrietta and Markus resist–in vain.
