På en lille ø lever den tidligere læge, Fredrik Welin i dyb isolation. En vinterdag bliver hans monotone tilværelse brudt, da hans ungdoms store kærlighed, som han forlod 37 år tidligere, dukker op for at få ham til at indfri et løfte, som han gav dengang. Og så begynder den mærkeligste "road movie" i nordisk litteratur i mange år.
