Colonel "Pappy" Burns leads his untested paratroopers on a desperate night drop to sabotage a Communist dam in Korea—a dam that threatens to flood the plains and slaughter twelve thousand U.N. troops pinned below.

With ammunition running low and reinforcements nowhere in sight, the blind colonel must hold the dam at all costs.

It's a tense battle of wits and nerve set against the backdrop of Cold War intrigue in the desert.
