Flanders, 1916. Tommy Tull, a young West Indies recruit, flees a violent mission in the forests of Belgium. Exhausted and terrified, he encounters Finn, a mysterious Irish officer, who takes him to an isolated cabin and takes care of him. Tommy starts to suspect that Finn might be a deserter as well when he suggests joining forces to ensure their survival. Over the next few days, the two form an unconventional bond, but their newfound peace is quickly tested when a German soldier invades in the middle night. Despite Finn’s insistence, Tommy refuses to kill the German, resulting in a bloody game of survival in which no player will emerge unmarked.
