One night, Hilma Honik transforms into a werewolf and kills her husband. From that moment on, her two children are left to fend for themselves, always fearing that the beastliness runs in the family and could take hold of them as well. While Iselin decides to establish the terror cell "Girls in the System" with her roommates in her hometown of Bergen, Edvard travels the fringes of the Soviet Union on his way to Afghanistan. A fantastic quest for meaning through the 20th century and the uncertainties of human behavior begins. In his second novel, Jakob Nolte paints a dark rainbow of horror over the world, proving himself to be a detail-loving nihilist and a master of absurdity.
