In a sequestered commune along side additional kids, their mothers, and leader, Gregori , 11-year-old Alexander resides on the boundary of a crumbling city. Gregori teaches the kids how to raise livestock, grow vegetables, act for a community - and to kill. With the birth of a new baby brother weighing his head, Alexander begins to question Gregori's overpowering influence on the kids and also his training. Threatened by his own increasing unwillingness to collapse in line, Gregori's behavior turns out inconsistent and adversarial supporting the child he considered a kid. The residents fear that a settlement is in hand, with the two-set perilously at odds as well as the way of life of the commune.
