It also happens to be the day that the first bombs of the 2022 Russian attack land on his homeland. As life for every person in the country is turned upside down in a moment, Vlad is immediately called up to serve in the military.

As millions flee, Vlad and Symon join a volunteer civilians' unit to fight.
