Siri, som sett fram emot pensionen, får plötsligt omskola sig, och finner sin nya position outhärdligt trist. Men när hustrun till en av partiets ledare rullas in på bårhuset och kropparna av torterade vietnamesiska soldater börjar flyta upp till ytan i en laotisk sjö, vänds allas blickar mot den nye coronern.
Siri står inför en internationell kris, men till sin hjälp har han den intuitivt begåvade sjuksköterskan Dtui.
