Toward the end of the Korean War, an uneasy ceasefire is ordered, but on the Eastern front line of the Aerok Hills, fierce fighting continues. A race to capture a strategic point to determine a new border between the two Koreas is the ultimate prize.

Upon arrival, Kang Eun-Pyo is completely shocked at the state of the soldiers, the conditions on the front, and the presence of Kim Soo-Hyuk, a soldier believed to be dead, who has now been promoted to Lieutenant and is fighting with a force possessed by years of battle and in tears, and then struggles to make sense of a scene of life here in counting body parts for the war.
