Robert and Mkiwa Livingston are happily ensconced in their tranquil life in Geneva, Switzerland, when Robert's best friend drops dead from a brain aneurysm, sparking a mid-life crisis. Nostalgic for the New England of his youth, Robert begs his wife for a chance to go back to his native America. As the Livingstons settle into their new home in Marblehead, Massachusetts, they - along with the rest of the country - become engrossed in a popular TV show called Quiet Time, about a family who decide to give up all electronic devices and smartphones for one year.

Fortellingen foregår over fire netter i Sankt Petersburg, som med sin nordlige plassering er kjennetegnet av lyse sommernetter - de hvite nettene i juni og juli hvor lyset aldri forsvinner. I disse nettene streifer fortellingens hovedperson rundt i byens gater. Han har verken venner eller familie, og den eneste kontakten han har med omverdenen er å betrakte livet som utspiller seg rundt ham på de ensomme spaserturene sine.
