Set on the North Frisian coast of the eighteenth century, the novel follows Hauke Haien, an ambitious man who becomes a dike master. His determination to build a more resistant dike clashes with the distrust and superstition of the locals. The narrative takes the form of a ghost legend surrounding the rider of the white horse.
