The story is set in the early 21st century, in an unspecified Balkan country which has recently been divided by war. The narrator, Natalia, is a young doctor who goes with her friend Zóra to provide medical aid to a small village across the border, where she encounters some rather strange superstitions. She is also dealing with the recent death of her grandfather, also a doctor, who suffered from a terminal cancer which he kept secret from everyone except her.
