A man arrives in Helsinki and is brutally assaulted, resulting in severe injuries and memory loss. Declared dead at the hospital, he unexpectedly regains consciousness and escapes, only to find himself without any recollection of his identity. Homeless and nameless, he is taken in by a family living in an abandoned shipping container and gradually rebuilds his life among the city's marginalized communities. Through the support of the Salvation Army, where he meets a volunteer named Irma, he finds companionship and a sense of purpose, all while navigating the challenges of his lost past and uncertain future.
