Akzhol just turned 22. Little does he differ his agemates: just like them he wants to live a full life. Though, because of an incomplete higher education, he has to work as a taxi driver and he hardly makes both ends meet. Akzhol once meets his lecturer who offers him take exams on all years he had missed and resume studies. This offer becomes a true gift for Akzhol, although life always puts him in tough dilemma. Every choice he makes reflects on not only his own life, but lives of his young sisters to whom he is the father and the mother at once.

Will arrives for his last year at Military Academy, in the Deep South USA, in the 1960's. A black student, Pearce, has been accepted, for the first time and Will is asked to keep an eye out for the inevitable racism. The racists come in the form of The Ten, a secret group of the elite students. They want Pearce to leave on his own free will, but are prepared to torture him to make it 'his free will'. Will is forced to help Pearce and he is prepared to risk his own career to do so.

While serving life in prison, a young man looks back at the people, the circumstances and the system that set him on the path toward his crime.
