Twelve-year-old Oskari is about to become a man. It's the
eve of his ritual Trial. The night he must prove his worth and place in the
tribe. The problem is that he's not sure if he's up to the challenge. Neither
is anyone else. Not even his father who Oskari desperately wants to please. If
only he was bigger and stronger like the other boys his age. He's not. Still,
he is determined to try to bring honor to his family.
