A wounded Marine corporal named Tuzek fights off enemy forces during a harrowing retreat near Pork Chop Hill, then finds himself torn between healing at a field hospital and returning to his undermanned unit on the front lines. With infection threatening his foot and a nurse's kindness testing his resolve, Tuzek must decide whether staying safe is the right choice when his fellow Marines need him most.

Racing to locate the enemy command post, he discovers his comrades facing execution and must make a desperate move to save them before it's too late.

Harold "Heshie" Gray is a Marine who finds himself stranded on a heavily fortified enemy island after falling overboard—unarmed and caught between the approaching invasion force and the Japanese guns dug in across the beach.
