Seventeen-year-old Edmund describes his ragtag band of Jewish partisans who hide in the Ukrainian forest during World War II and sabotage the Nazi war effort without sacrificing their morality. As they rescue Jews from the countryside, they draw strength from the community around them. When the Red Army advances and the Germans retreat, they attempt to stop a train heading for a concentration camp, with bittersweet results.
