A nightclub, popular among the sexual minorities, in Pori is attacked with a grenade. Five people die and many are injured. The mask-wearing perpetrator, calling themselves the Emissary, uploads a video on the internet claiming that homosexuality is a disease that must be purged from the world, urging others to join the fight.

The story is centered around police commissioner Henrik Oksman, who himself is gay and a transvestite. He himself had attended the club during the faithful night, dressed up as a woman, and had left earlier with another man. Oksman finds himself on the list of suspects police wants to find and interrogate.

The story takes the reader to the world of extremist groups, racism, and religious fundamentalism. How easy it is to shape something you cannot understand yourself?
