France, during WWII. In 1944, André Ferrier and his brother Jacques are bravely participating in the Allied Alsace campaign.

He is an assistant to Blosky, patrol leader of the small post of Ba-Cong. Surrounded by rebels and awaiting reinforcements from Saigon, the post receives help from an unlikely source: a small plane belonging to a plantation owner. Just when things couldn't get any worse, Blosky goes down with malaria and require urgent care. Then André has a more personal matter to deal with.
