Autumn 1944 in Podillia. The front line is far away, but there is no peace behind it. In the village of Satanov, fear of the Gestapo has given way to fear of NKVD punitive raids, and the area is terrorised by heavily armed bands of criminals and deserters. For months bodies of people mauled by wild animals have been found at the forest edge, and people say a werewolf lives in the woods. A front-line officer, Andrii Levchenko, takes on the mystery, joined in a dangerous game by Ihor Vovk, an escapee from a Stalinist camp, the ruthless NKVD captain Somov, the deserter Zhora Teplyi and the insurgent commander Hrim, each with a secret.
