The story unfolds during the Finnish War of 1808-1809, focusing on Finnish soldiers engaged in resistance against Russian forces. The main characters introduced include vääpeli Roth, who is planning daring raids to hinder the enemy's supply lines, and Spof, his steadfast companion, along with local figures like the wise yet sometimes stubborn
old soldier Yrjö Kinnunen and the lovely Ilma Kinnunen, who is caught in familial and romantic conflicts amid the turmoil of the war. At the start of the story, three Finnish men stealthily approach a military cabin by Näsijärvi on a beautiful summer evening in 1808. The opening scene describes their surroundings with vivid imagery, highlighting their concern for the looming threat from Russian invaders.
