After commando Carl Hansen is recalled from the frozen wastelands of Western Russia to thwart the Allied invasion in 1944 Normandy, his love affair with the French heiress Angelique Dagineau becomes his only reason to survive the cataclysmic battle ahead.
As the French Resistance rises across Southern France to block the division from joining the fray, the tangled web of intrigue between the corrupt Vichy government forces, the Parisian criminal network and the Communist insurgents begins to unravel.
When Carl learns that Angelique is missing and even worse, might be the target of a massive Gestapo manhunt, he sets on a mission to save her that leads him to the middle of danger and beyond.
