Το ξέσπασμα του Α΄ Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου βρίσκει τα αδέρφια Πέτρο και Γρηγόρη στην πρώτη γραμμή. Ταυτόχρονα, τα κελεύσματα της μεγάλης πολιτικοκοινωνικής αλλαγής που έρχεται δεν αφήνουν ασυγκίνητο τον Γρηγόρη· προβληματίζεται, αμφισβητεί, διεκδικεί, επαναστατεί. Ένας Κοζάκος μετατρέπεται σε Μπολσεβίκο. Η Οκτωβριανή Επανάσταση, οι αντιξοότητες, ο μόχθος και η θυσία, μέσα από τα μάτια των ατίθασων και ανυπότακτων Κοζάκων...
