About one of the most difficult weeks after the Civil War in a small Ural city in the spring of 1921, in which the situation was very serious. Famine is on the agenda; if seeds are not delivered to the general sowing, then not only the city, but the entire region will starve. To deliver them by rail, fuel is needed, which is also not available, and twelve miles from the city there is a forest where firewood can be prepared for the trains. In addition to all this, there is an unsolved counter-revolutionary conspiracy in the city...

Ivan Perepasov has been serving at the railway station as a pointsman for twenty-two years. It seemed to him that all he could do was run along the arrows, give signals, light lanterns. The shift was coming to an end, Ivan hurried home, where his wife and eight children were waiting for him. Suddenly it seemed to him that he had forgotten, after the passage of a freight train, to throw the switch lever onto the main track, along which the postal train was now rushing. Ivan, in despair, rushes onto the adjacent track and falls under a maneuvering locomotive...

The events take place during the Great Patriotic War in Belarus. The commander of the special forces detachment "Thunder" Fedor was sent to the German rear to carry out special missions...

About the life of military pilots, their friendship, and dedication to their profession. The plot is based on the transfer of an aviation regiment from a small town in the Arctic.
