The Population has been decimated. The survivors began to kill themselves and themselves, no one found any more sense to give birth to children... but not for everyone... there are some who, keeping their human nature intact, did not give up and organized themselves to survive. Due to a sudden arrival, a group of nine surviving members whose day is marked by scouting for food, working at ovens, and queuing for water will have to contend with the harsh reality outside their shelter. The boys will face a dark sect of monks, heinous raiders, and a sinister presence in the woods. Old-world grudges and violence will resurface among the boys, leading to revelations and twists until the unexpected epilogue.

The boys are struggling to settle, but Vincenzo is confident about them and hope that they will soon find a job in the city. Meanwhile, an impostor blackmailer, who wants to marry the daughter of Vincenzo, arrives in Puglia, to expose the scam.
