A story of an Israeli youngster joining the smallest, most daring underground, Lechi, the notorious "Stern Gang", in its attempt to eject British forces off the Holy Land. It tells the daily struggle of a double life, dividing his scanty time between high-school and his secret underground activities. A busy life, escaping bullets, then studying for his coming exam in Electronics. A life that left little time to sleep or enjoying his sports club, nor his airplane hobbies. The isolation, no friends allowed. The lies he had to use with parents and friends. It tells of his interesting time in the Jaffa prison, British police naivety, and unexpected release. Of building the second Lechi transmitter as Arab bullets swish by him. All interwoven with a hot love affair with the girl of his dreams that warmed his heart, and the on/off struggle within it. Police shots and prison did not deter him nor his dedicated friends from their struggle to expel the British occupiers and create a new state for the Jewish people. And that initial small struggle by Lechi eventually led to united fighting by the three Israeli undergrounds that drove the British out of Israel and created the State of Israel. The killing of the hated Count Bernadotte by his underground stopped the Count attempt of nationalizing Jerusalem but sent this youngster back to prison, but he escaped. It tells of his hiding in Jerusalem with just enough money to buy 2 meager meals a day.
