It is the end of October, and Roar takes the opportunity to go jogging for the first time in his life during a conference in the countryside. He picked up the shoes from a store's basket and, in his haste, didn’t notice that they are different sizes. The first thing that happens is that he gets a painful blister. Along the way, he gets lost and encounters a woman who is also jogging and has lost her way. Together, they try various paths without success. Helle Helle describes in this novel how a simple everyday situation turns into a suffocating extreme situation that brings two strangers together.
