Ben Harris, a reluctant American soldier, survives the horrible Omaha Beach landing and endures over a year of battles across Europe during WWII while at the same time fighting an inner battle against guilt for his participation. It takes the profound words from an old gentleman who shares his wine with Ben in a Belgian cafe to finally make him understand that his actions are just. So he continues to do what he was trained to do, kill the enemy. But one such event cast Ben into the life of a beautiful German widow and drives him to the cliff where death awaits below.
