The Nazis have invaded Norway and people are forced to take sides; you are either for the Resistance or for the Norwegian Nazi party. Fourteen-year-old Espen soon makes his allegiance to the Resistance and his help is needed immediately and often. His responsibilities are quickly increased and so is the danger. Not all of Espen's friends make the same choice and loyalties are severely tested. Under these circumstances, a boy soon becomes a man and as Espen grows into his new role, he is forced to make adult decisions that will change his life forever.
