In which our hero graduates at the top of his class from his training to be a soldier and heads off to war with hugs and kisses from his proud family and friends.

In which our hero discovers that the reality of the war is nothing like what he was told in school and that he will need to learn a whole new set of skills if he wants to survive. Those skills mostly revolve around being ruthless and obeying without questioning.

In which our hero dreams of the first time he saw his nation's soldiers parading through his town when he was just a boy and how awe struck he was by how brave an noble they were. He spent the rest of his childhood playing games pretending to be a soldier and following all of the glorious news from the war front.

In which our hero is tasked with surveying a village that has been cleared out for any survivors and to deal with them appropriately. When he comes upon an old man he can't bring himself to bring harm to him. They are forced to seek shelter and the old man takes the soldier into a secret network of tunnels that his people have been hiding in and the military are unaware of. The old man is berated for revealing their secrets to the enemy and the soldier is met with distrust but he is allowed to stay. The soldier learns that what he has been told about his barbaric enemy is all a lie and that they are a kind and civilized people. 

In which our hero meets the old man's granddaughter and falls in love. She shows him the things that make her life full and beautiful and he questions his own values and life choices.

In which our hero returns to his base confused and finds that the military has found out about the tunnel system and plans to attack it that night. As he rides off to do the unimaginable he makes the decision to thwart the attack by sabotaging the vehicles. A fight ensues and he kills several of the other soldiers but he escapes and the rest of the unit retreats.

In which our hero is lost and alone with no home to return to. He must find his love and warn the good people of the coming attack but he is far and only vaguely remembers how to get there. He must use the techniques that his love has taught him to find the subtly hidden signs that point to the tunnels.

In which our hero finds his love and warns her people of the coming attack just in time for them for some to escape into the wilds.

In which our hero becomes a leader and rallies the people to fight because they are good and have the right to live free. Unfortunately they are under equipped and even though they put up a good fight, his love is killed along with the rest of the people he had begun to think of as his family
