The story follows Claude, who feels unfulfilled in his monotonous life on the family farm, especially as his wife prioritizes her missionary work over their marriage. With her departure to China, he seizes the opportunity to enlist in the US Army as it prepares for World War I. This decision ignites a sense of purpose in Claude, as he believes he has finally found a place where he truly matters. The narrative explores themes of duty, identity, and the quest for significance against the backdrop of a world at war.
