The story revolves around young characters, primarily focusing on Zaidos, a Greek boy, and Nickell-Wheelerson, as they navigate the challenges of war amidst their personal trials.

opening of the story introduces us to a military school where Zaidos, Nick, and their friend Morales contemplate their fates as war looms on the horizon. Zaidos learns about his father's critical condition just as he is about to be conscripted, prompting him to rush home. However, he faces a grim twist of fate when he is drafted into the military despite his father's circumstances. Nick, determined to join him, devises a way to accompany Zaidos on his journey. This sets off a series of events that will test their courage and loyalty as they confront the harsh realities of war while grappling with their responsibilities toward their families and each other.
