Crete, 1943. In an attempt to avert the plans of the Nazis and rid the island of the German invaders, Commander Nikitas, the patriotic son of a despicable collaborator, and his brave team of hand-picked commandos parachute into a remote mountainous region. To carry out their crucial, life-or-death mission, the saboteurs must join forces with the local Resistance movement, whose leader, Lefteris, Nikitas' rugged compatriot, is still holding a grudge against him for being in a relationship with Martha, the love of his life. Now, the nation counts on a handful of selfless men to stop the German Army, demanding the ultimate sacrifice. Will they live to fight another day and see the dawn of victory?
