Prentneminn Friðbert hefur boðið vinum sínum og skyldmennum til veislu í tilefni af þrítugsafmæli sínu og undir morgun, þegar hann hefur kvatt síðustu gestina, kemur í ljós að ókunnuglegt skópar er fyrir utan dyrnar. Samkvæmisleikir er óvenjuleg, ágeng og bráðskemmtileg saga sem glímir við merkileg og ómerkileg siðferðileg álitamál. Þetta er þriðja skáldsaga Braga en hinar tvær, Hvíldardagar og Gæludýrin, voru báðar tilnefndar til Íslensku bókmenntaverðlaunanna.
