The story revolves around the lives of Kalle Aukustinpoika, his wife Liena, and their enigmatic old father living in a remote torppa (cottage) known as Pimeänpirtin. The narrative explores themes of isolation, societal disconnection, family dynamics, and hidden secrets within the confines of nature. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the desolate landscape surrounding the torppa, which is isolated in the dense woods. Kalle is portrayed as a kind-hearted man, while Liena grapples with her feelings of alienation and longing for her past life. The enigmatic figure of “Pimeänpirtin vaari," Kalle’s old father, looms large in local folklore as a suspected sorcerer, further complicating Liena's role within the family. The opening sets a somber tone, focusing on Liena's internal struggles and the stark contrast between her past as a lady of privilege and her current existence in the harsh wilderness, foreshadowing deeper tensions and conflicts to unfold in their secluded life.
