A girl approaches her in a small café and claims to be her half-sister. Lumikki s parents seem to be hiding a secret concerning the family s past, so the girl s claim rouses Lumikki s interest. Despite her erratic behavior, the girl manages to persuade Lumikki to join a religious cult, but when it turns out that the cult leaders are planning mass suicide, Lumikki has to run for her life.

The rehearsals are going well, and there seems to be genuine chemistry between Lumikki and the boy playing the role of the huntsman. Is Lumikki falling in love for the first time?

With the opening night just around the corner, Lumikki has to find a way to outwit the stalker whose soul is as black as ebony.
