Among them is Sergeant Carl Morgan, a hangman whose presence instills fear. Captain Reisman arrives, tasked with leading Operation Amnesty, a mission that offers twelve men a chance at redemption. They can wash away their guilt through honorable combat during the Allied invasion, but they must first become professional killers. This daunting task lies ahead for both the chosen dozen and Reisman, as D-Day approaches relentlessly.
