For months, northern Sweden was drenched by relentless rain. A massive dam, built to withstand the worst, protected it from the flooding. But no one imagined that "the worst" would be child's play compared to what actually happened. Then one day, the Luleå River undermined the seemingly impenetrable concrete barrier and rushed forward, sweeping away everything in its path, destroying houses, tossing cars, sweeping up all manner of human belongings... and the people themselves.

A gray wall of water rushes toward the novel's characters: a Sami man who long ago abandoned traditional life for the city; a helicopter pilot contemplating suicide; a young woman who has just learned she's expecting; a power plant worker determined to finally show all these women what a real man is; a lonely amateur artist for whom the river has always been a source of joy...

A mosaic of tragic (and sometimes slightly comical) stories forms a grand drama that will forever change not only the landscape but also the fate of each of the characters.
