The story

Jussi Ketola, a Finnish emigrant to the United States, has escaped Great Depression with his family by returning to Finland, a nation still sharply divided after the 1917 Finnish Civil War between the victorious anti-communist Whites and the communist Reds. A socialist and pacifist, Jussi falls under the gaze of right-wing nationalists of the Lapua Movement, who believe him to be a Red. One night in 1931, Jussi is abducted from his home by local Lapua Movement members, initially intending to force him on the Eternal Road across the border to Soviet Russia, but deciding instead to execute him.
