In the midst of famine during a forgotten Stalinist genocide, Danya Komysa is a proud Cossack Partisan, forced to witness the murder of his wife during the Soviet Purges and Famine of 1932. Despite his heroic defiance against Bohdan Vratek Stalin's most notorious Chekist General, his lone crusade for retribution seems hopeless. Now as Danya wrestles with his destiny he encounters a powerful resistance group and takes on a deadly challenge. He must chaperone Natalka Zakharov, once Stalin's favourite adjutant, yet now Russia's most wanted fugitive, to Kharkiv City as she flees from the same Chekist General who murdered his wife.
