Spoilers ahead
Ari, a 27-year-old ambulance doctor from the City of Turku Fire Department, enjoys a lifestyle filled with casual encounters, purposely avoiding any emotional commitments.

This all changes when he meets Tiina on the beach, leading to an unexpected romance that sees them ultimately sharing Ari’s apartment. As their relationship develops, Tiina, who is falling in love, begins seeking a deeper connection, pushing the boundaries of their initial arrangement. She introduces Ari to her close-knit group of friends, which includes Ilona, Hanna-Riikka, and their partners, Stig and Riku.
