1491, a village of Oukham, lost among the English forests, cut off from the centers of civilization by a stormy river. In the early morning the news comes - the village rich man Thomas Newman died. Murder, suicide, accident? Or maybe he did not die at all, but disappeared? Priest John Reeve, who, as a confessor, is known to many secrets of the inhabitants of the village, wants to figure out what happened to the Newman, a man not only the richest in Oukam, but also the most hardworking, most educated and complete all kinds of ideas. And what will happen if what happened to him remains a mystery? The story, told by the priest, slowly, diligently moves back, from the final to its beginning, discovering the microcosm of medieval being with its fears, hopes, beliefs, wildness and infancy - the being of ascetic and incredibly colorful. Four days of oil weeks are full of anxiety, strange shadows, secrets and unforgivated issues. Priest John Reeve, who is fighting with his own instincts and passions, with the flock, with the very structure of the world, is trying not only to understand what happened to his friend, but also to realize where the man ends and God begins, how the work of man is mating with the highest Lord will
