 On her way home from an evening shift at a men s clothing store, Saara Nevanen is raped by a man whom she recognizes as her regular but eccentric customer. The doctor and policemen question Saara in an insensitive manner, and she breaks down with guilt. When the court releases the perpetrator in lack of evidence, Saara s aggressive brother Jari talks her mild-mannered husband Sakari into a self-made revenge plot. Armed with two rifles, Jari and Sakari take matters into their own hands.
