In the space-faring future, it is always winter in the lumipaikka (snowland) of the planet Jaspre. Here, a colony of Finns have adopted ancient practices in order to survive. Old myths again have relevance, as the snow-dwellers are granted unusual powers. A Kalevala singer, a teacher and a healer, among others, must reconcile the old ways with the new.
