På ön Åstol är allt frid och fröjd. Där bor omkring tvåhundra människor. En sådan människa är Åke. Han jobbar på öns sillsalteri. Salteriet är Åstolbornas levebröd. En dag dyker salteriets ägare upp, den hemske fabrikör Ivar, och berättar att han har sålt salteriet till en sommargäst som ska riva det och bygga sommarhus istället. Det utbryter en kris på det annars så lugna Åstol. Vad kommer att hända med öborna om deras största inkomstkälla försvinner, hemska tanke. Åke blir övertalad att börja en kurs inne på fastlandet, Tjörn. Tjörn ligger drygt 10 minuter med båt från Åstol, men för Åke blir det en otäck resa till en hemsk värld. Kursen visar sig vara en datautbildning och Åke får en snilleblixt. Han ska sälja sill över internet!
