The year is 1939. The world is descending into chaos. Thousands of distinguished Poles are being taken prisoner by Russia, where they are being indoctrinated as part of a grand plan. An ambitious enemy agent makes it a point of honor to break the resistance of one of them. He is a young, world-renowned pianist, respected by his fellow prisoners. His capitulation could result in many others defecting to the enemy. A cunning game rife with manipulation, threats, and promises begins. Each prisoner is forced to make a dramatic choice, one they will have to live with or die with. Unaware of their role, they eagerly await the moment of liberation, which could spell their doom. Will their comrades-in-arms attempt a lethal escape, or will they abandon themselves to the enemy's mercy? Time is running out, because the enemy could make his final move at any moment.
