Adam Wright is a quiet Private in the United States Army, and a skilled marksman. Feeling a deep desire to help people, Adam trades his rifle for bandages. He signs up as a medic, volunteering for a dangerous observation mission into France just prior to the German invasion. When his seven man team is overrun by a small German unit, Adam is faced with only one option, to take up arms against the Germans. With deadly precision he takes them out, saving his unit, and being hailed a hero. However, the event leaves Adam feeling anything but a hero, as he is left with awful images flashing through his mind, images of what he has done and what harm he is capable of doing. While in a hamlet, searching for more German soldiers, a civilian is found dead in a tavern. His mysterious death, along with a shimmering golden box, jars full of an odd powder, and a chair stained with blood, leave the team full of confusion, and wondering what evil took place in this little town. Fearing the return of more Germans, the men head out into a torrential rainstorm across the French countryside. The observation mission may be over, but the battle is about to begin.
