Opening scene
After a night of North Sea wind, Hauke Haien discovers that several surveying stakes on the new dike have been moved by a handsbreadth. That is enough to steer responsibility, guilt, and superstition in new directions at the next flood.

Hauke must decide whether to name the sabotage openly or first find the hand behind it before the village turns it into legend.
