It’s the Eastern Front, 1944. The Russians are pushing the German Army back through Romania. Major Kurt Fleischer, war-weary commander of an elite troop of German soldiers, is ordered to escort a female scientist, Professor Anna Kappel, from the Nazi Occult Department, the Annenerbe, into a mysterious forest behind enemy lines. His orders come from the highest level, Himmler himself. If the mission fails; there will be no reprieve for him and his men. A bona fide suicide mission in Fleischer’s eyes. Accompanied by Heinrich Metzger, a psychotic SS Major, they move deep into the forest. As Fleischer’s men begin to die in horrific and inhuman ways, he realises there is something in the trees that is far more deadly than the Russians. But turning back is not an option. Before his troop is wiped out, Fleischer needs to discover what Anna wants, deep within the forest, and who or what is intent on slaughtering them before they get there.
