A morally fraught WW2 thriller about soldiers grappling with the corruption of their own ranks, sent on a dangerous mission where the real enemy is internal betrayal and complicity.

Four American soldiers in WW2, after witnessing the vicious murder of an innocent civilian at the hands of their platoon Sergeant, are sent on a reconnaissance/suicide mission led by a local partisan.
