Historically, war has been regarded as a man’s domain, making the presence of women on blood-soaked battlefields all the more heroic. Yet neither men nor women, nor humanity as a whole, have managed to make any previous war the last one. The Doomsday Clock keeps ticking forward, and there is no reason to stop its second hand.

The story of three women who are undergoing a transformation of their lives due to the events caused by the Great War. Yaryna is looking for her fiancé, who is probably in Russian captivity, and volunteering for the East. Kateryna is adapting her family's routine after her military husband's leg amputation. Daria is building her life after losing her husband in the war.

As the occupation tightens its grip, Andriy quietly begins to resist, secretly returning the bodies to their families at great personal risk.
