A hand clamps down on a boy's shoulder. He looks up from his father's body. In an instant, his childhood is over. He kicks and screams as he and his little brother are dragged away by the Albanian terrorist who just killed their parents.

Forced to leave the only life they have ever known, the boys are taken to the murderer's home – a traditional Albanian compound where honor is everything and the only thing prized above fighting for the nation is the loyalty code of the Kanun. Determined to keep his younger brother safe, 12-year old Drago must fight alongside the man he is now told to call Father.

As a soldier in the Kosovo Liberation Army, Drago is trapped on the frontlines, witnessing the senseless atrocities of war. Forced to follow the orders of a bloodthirsty commander, he must pay the price of survival without losing his will to resist.

Caught up in a never-ending cycle of vengeance, Drago fights for the lives of his brother and closest friends. The decisions he makes with the gun in his hands will determine their fate in the battle for Kosovo.
