Olesya, a rich Cossack daughter, fell in love with a serf, she is ready to go into captivity for him - and does not imagine that, having become a serf, she will not have power over her life and the lives of her children... Gorpina loses her child because she is forced to go to corvee , and not to care for her, for the sick... There is no end to injustice and sadness. But Ivan Karmelyuk cannot bear to put up with how poor ordinary people are. And soon rumors about robbers taking money from the rich and helping the poor spread throughout the region...
