Ya se sabe que el amor no cae del cielo, sino que uno se lo encuentra en el regazo. Sobre todo cuando no se lo espera en absoluto. Y si antes alguien le hubiera dicho al repartidor de cerveza de Dormund, Hannes, que lo encontraría precisamente en la exótica soledad de Finlandia mientras un comisario de policía le pisaba los talones, lo más probable es que se hubiera limitado a sacudir la cabeza. Hannes, tímido experto en aprenderse horarios de trenes en sus ratos libres quiere ir a la nórdica localidad de Inari para participar en el Primer Concurso Internacional para expertos en guías ferroviarias. Para cumplir este sueño, ha pasado meses maquinando rutas de viaje y estudiándose horarios de memoria. Lo que Hannes no sabe cuando va al tren hacia el norte es que el Comisario Stefan y su ayudante Harry le creen el sospechoso número uno de un nuevo caso de asesinato...
