Set during the turbulent 1950s and early 1960s under the USSR regime, this Christian-based adventure follows the journey of three teenage schoolboys who are forcefully separated from their families by the Communist government. Taken to an academy in Ukraine, the boys are isolated in an attempt to protect them from religious indoctrination.

Armed only with a map and compass, the group treks through wild terrain and crosses mountains into Russia, all while being relentlessly pursued by the police and KGB agents.Their journey leads them to the streets of Moscow, where they disappear among the many street children, evading capture.
