In the spring of 1942 the Nazi-German forces occupying Yugoslavia determine to destroy the partisan army of General Tito once and for all. Unable to withstand the vastly superior forces launched against him, Tito evacuates the town and leads his people in a desperate march across the mountains in search of a safe haven. But Captain Tony Davis stays behind with a hand-picked squad - including Frenchwoman, Sandrine Fouquet, and the Bosnian, Sasha Janitz - deputed to attack enemy communications. This brings Tony into renewed confrontation with his old antagonist, SS Colonel Fritz Wasserman, and sparks a brutal conflict.
