In the small village of Hurmevaara, life is upended when a meteorite crashes into a car one night. The mayor sees this as a golden opportunity to revitalize the struggling town. So, the village priest and veteran peacekeeper, Joel, is told to ensure the meteorite's safety in an old museum until it can be sent to London for further analysis.
However, the valuable rock soon attracts unwanted attention, drawing both amateur and professional criminals eager to steal it.
