The Wolf family reflects the crisis the country is in after suffering war and occupation. A resistance movement takes power after a foreign occupation of Sweden. They aim to regain the capital, Stockholm.

Two groups of teens get shipwrecked on a deserted island in the Stockholm archipelago and try to create a new society in order to survive.

In the end of 1939, the Soviet Union attacks Finland. In Sweden, 100.000 men are quickly drafted to guard the northeastern border. Men, who have almost no military training, are suddenly expected to behave as full-fledged soldiers. In one of the units we find 107 Andersson, 111 Loffe and a bunch of men with nicknames as Morsgrisen and Stora Norrland. After some months, the war in Finland is over, but World War II continues and the unit moves to the western border of Sweden, where the men have to stay for many years to come. Sweden is not at war, but some of the men are frightened that the Nazis will one day attack this country.
