A fresh young army nurse (Ayako Wakao) on the front finds herself the nighttime prey of hungry soldiers and awash in a sea of blood and torn bodies. Despite the hell around her she struggles to maintain her strength and compassion, but her attempts at salvation, with an amputee solider and the morphine-addicted surgeon, could lead to her own sexual and spiritual martyrdom.
