The book begins with the fever of the first character, Mehdigholi Rezaei, on the way to the front lines, manipulating the birth certificate, the days and nights of the Basij bases and mosques of those days, and being dispatched them to the battlefields. The author of the book became acquainted with the areas and operations using available maps, and then, in the maps and detailed explanations that he receives from the narrator for his questions, he is so justified as if he lives at that time and on that earth.

How could Karim and Dostali, who were my age, go the front, but I wasn’t accepted? Why doesn’t the summer end?
That night was the hottest night of my life. The weather was warm; incidentally, a few clouds were wandering in the sky. I was moving in bed and did not know what to do. I could not believe that I returned result less from the Basij registration site. It means I still have to content to the alley and school and the mosque, and only my work is to guard at night in the alleys saying “Turn off the lights”. I passed that nigh to the morning with restlessness and did not say to anyone that I was rejected at the Basij registration site.
My brother's strong hand, Hassan, pulled me out of the line that ended up to the bus. All of my anxiety and passion for dispatching passed over my mind in a moment. Concerned and silent, I observed my brother’s quarrel with the dispatch officer, “He is a just kid! Where do you dispatch him without his parents’ permission?
