It explores the struggles of the working class in rural Finland, particularly through the experiences of Joel, a young man facing economic and social injustices stemming from land disputes and class oppression. The narrative centers on Joel’s determination to protect his family's land and his attempts to rally his community against those who exploit them.  The beginning of the novel introduces Joel Sormensuo and his family as they engage in a tense conversation about the impending loss of their treasured pasture land, known as Itäinen. Joel's parents express resignation regarding the threat while Joel himself feels a mix of despair and resolve. As he contemplates how to reclaim their lost rights, he determines to confront local landowners and seek justice. The initial interactions hint at a brewing conflict that explores themes of class struggle, the importance of land rights, and the awakening of a sense of solidarity among the oppressed, setting the stage for Joel's eventual call to action as tensions rise in the community.
