Director Steven Stiller takes a gritty look at the emotional journey of a Canadian World War Two soldier as he must decide between survival and self sacrifice. The soldier is pinned down in a fox hole by machine gun fire after the rest of his company was gunned down by an enemy patrol. Trapped, alone and low on ammo the Soldier must decide whether to try to sneak away under the cover of night leaving the machine gun nest to cut down more ally troops or sacrifice himself and try to take out the machine gun nest.
