Autumn 1941. A "green" replenishment from Siberia arrives at the most dangerous part of the front. Among them is Nikolai Slepkov, "moonshine" — that's what single hunters are called in the taiga, who chase the beast themselves, without dogs and other hunters. He shows himself in the very first fight. And then, taking risks on the front line and getting deeper into the enemy's rear, he commits the impossible. Moonshine was wounded six times, twice seriously, but always returned to the front line to defeat the enemy and protect his own.
