Synopsis:

During a military reserve training exercise, Jussi Vares (Juha Veijonen) is taken 'prisoner' by beautiful female sergeant, Eeva Sunila (Laura Malmivaara). At the party held to mark the end of the exercise Vares finds himself strongly attracted by his 'captor', but what seems to be promising situation proves a let down: Eeva, who is a teacher in civilian life, tells him that she is about to get married. And Vares is not permitted to pat her down... After a fast-paced series of incidents, Eeva makes headlines all over the country while the chase takes Vares across southern Finland, and through endless drenching rain. The millions, skimmed from Russian Mafia operations, have a lot of takers. And human life is not worth much in comparison. Eeva Sunila discovers that she´s the fall guy in a game whose main players include her new husband Antero Kraft (Jorma Tommila), traitorous man-eater Ifigenia Multanen (Minna Turunen), ruthless business-shark Karl E. Miesmann (Jari Halonen), crooked cop Mikko Koitere (Samuli Edelmann) and professional hitmen Jari 'Red-Eye' Munck (Pekka Valkeejärvi) and Tetsuo Sinkkonen (Kari Hietalahti). Betrayal, lust and cruelty spiral into an inevitably violent conclusion as the game plays itself out in the relentless rain. When his back is against the wall, Vares is a man of action, driven by a strange sense of chivalry. This weighs more in the scales than his own life.

Jussi Vares is a private detective whose business is more often handled in a pub than in the office. Besides, this law school drop-out thinks that conventional rules are for those who lack imagination. Vares is a single man in midlife crisis who enjoys his beer and appreciates a pretty pair of eyes and legs when he sees one. This is a story of Vares following a criminal who´s cheated millions from his unfortunate (ex)colleagues. This criminal investigation takes Vares around Finland. There are several people who become involved and everybody has their own agenda. Greed and love are among their motives. Characters crossing Vares´ path include Eeva Sunila, a teacher and one of the first women to complete army training in order to become a sergeant in Finnish Army. Mikko Koitere, a police sergeant in the special unit against organized crime, who does not always follow the law by the book and a clever pair from the Finnish underworld, Tetsuo Sinkkonen and Munck.
