Wilfried Wils must survive as an auxiliary policeman during the Nazi occupation of Antwerp.

Sam, 12, is in trouble: his entire "Pathfinder" scout troop picks on him - and worse. The leader, Peter, is the worst of all. He seems to find a sadistic pleasure in humiliating Sam.

But when Sam finds that Kai is no legend and that he makes more than mischief, no one believes him.
