In desperation, Ludmelia undertakes one last mission. Collaborating with Polish partisans, she seeks to get a resistance leader out through the Iron Curtain to plea for help from the West. But they have to travel through a countryside teeming with Soviet patrols to reach the border with Poland. New recruit Anton Dubus knows the area well and joins them to help. He's brave and has proven himself invaluable. But can she trust him? Is he out to save her and her men or to destroy them all? Based on actual events, nothing is as it seems in this historical thriller.
