In the summer of 1947 the Communist leadership of Romania annoyed with the disruptions caused by anti-Communist resistance fighters in Transylvania sends a special Securitate squad to hunt them down. Their task is to discover the hideouts of these resistance fighters, lure them out and either arrest them of kill them. It's not an easy task considering the fact that some villagers in the remote mountain villages are harboring the resistance fighters. The Securitate squad led by Securitate officer Coman also comprises Securitate lieutenant Vasilache and Sergeant Marin. They especially are after a Iron Guard Legionaire, Visarion Olteanu, a former Romanian Army officer who has proved to be elusive and hard to capture. In their task the Securitate team is assisted by some eager villagers who view the anti-Communist resistance fighters as a security threat to region's peace, stability and prosperity. However, not all villagers are prepared to collaborate with the Communist Security Forces and they choose to aid the resistance fighters.
