Fifteen-year-old Ben is being bullied by a thug named Claude, and he feels his anger and frustration grow with each passing day. Then Great-Aunt Frieda comes to visit and Ben learns about the old woman's former life in Russia, and how she dealt with the Men of Stone - Stalin's agents who terrorized her community and her family. As Frieda tells her powerful story, Ben begins to understand who he is and what kind of person he wants to be. The road he must travel is clear ...if only he can get past the rage that has taken control of his life.
