War. The truce has been recently signed and the squad known as The Blacks needs to be disbanded. Ivo, the squad commander, plans a mission to retrieve the bodies of three of his men from the forest. The surviving members of the squad move into action and find that the enemy they have been searching for is where they least expect – inside themselves.
