In December 1944, a raw American infantry division has its baptism of fire in the Battle of the Bulge. Caught up in this maelstrom of death and destruction, are two very different Americans. One, a battlewise but reluctant officer, who fights not only the Germans, but his own past as well. The other, a book smart sergeant who yearns to break through the wall of race that separates him from so many. Trapped behind enemy lines, they experience the horror of war and a humanity borne of sacrifice.
