On a mission in the African desert, during the second world war, a group of British and American soldiers attack and destroy a German compound. Just as it looks like the allies have overtaken the base, they are captured by the surviving Germans and are taken to a desert prison camp. Nothing could have prepared the soldiers for the sick atrocities that they witness within the walls of the prison. Female prisoners are assaulted and tortured and the men are castrated. As the bodies pile up an escape plan is acted upon in the dead of night as a group of prisoners break out of the camp. The alarm sounds and the dogs are released. Will they make it to freedom?
