The narrative centers around a critical moment in Finnish history during a period of significant political upheaval influenced by Russian governance, focusing on the experiences of the main character, who grapples with maintaining order amidst the chaos of a general strike. The book delves into themes of authority, responsibility, and the dynamics of public sentiment in a time of crisis.

The tension escalates when he makes his way to the city, encountering crowds and witnessing the declaration of a strike, which leads to widespread fear and confusion among the populace. As events unfold, he is entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining order during a tumultuous period characterized by the threat of violent suppression from Russian forces.
