A small group of U.S. soldiers, cold, out of supplies and isolated, are taking cover in a ruined farmhouse during the Korean war. The officer in charge is tormented that a patrol he sent out to scout the enemy is overdue and contact lost. In a weak, one way radio signal, the patrol states their position. When further orders come in, the officer realizes he must order an air strike on the enemy that would surely kill the patrol, or risk the enemy mounting an attack on the rest of his forces.
