En bleg og mishandlet pige falder om på gaden på Vesterbro i København. I en lejlighed i nærheden er en ung mand blevet myrdet med et primitivt, hjemmelavet spyd.
Thomas Nyland, en erfaren efterforsker ved Afdeling for Personfarlig Kriminalitet, bliver sat på sagen, men efterforskningen når knap nok at komme i gang, før drabsmanden igen dukker frem af natten – med store personlige følger for Thomas.
Samme nat mister den menneskesky forsker i slavisk folketro, Natalja Rudova, sin far under et indbrud. Fra hans arbejdsværelse forsvinder en fonografisk cylinder – en tidlig forgænger for grammofonpladen – med et ukendt indhold.
Hver for sig forsøger Thomas og Natalja at finde en mening med de brutale forbrydelser. En søgen, der leder dem gennem sexforbrydelser, dragemyter og heltedigte ind i en gal mands verden.
