During the brutal winter of 1950 at the Hwachon Reservoir, a small band of Marines—led by Sergeant Fiske—volunteers to hold back overwhelming Chinese forces while the rest of their division withdraws to safety. As the platoon fights through sub-zero weather and relentless waves of attack, their numbers dwindle until only a handful survive, forcing them to seek shelter in an abandoned farmhouse where they encounter Ochan Lee, a South Korean girl who claims to know a way to safety. With enemy forces closing in, the Marines must decide whether to trust her and make their desperate escape through a hidden tunnel.
