Stalingrad, 1942 - Inside a frozen hell of bombed out buildings and rubble strewn streets, soldiers fight and die with the ferocity of animals. Only a trickle of food and ammunition, a flood of fragile bodies and a resolute determination to resist can safeguard the Russian people from the Nazi jackboot. Adrift in this sea of chaos in the brutal winter of 1942, Private Ivan Petrov of the second squad, 115th rifle company, fights to save the lives of loved ones, friends, comrades... and perhaps if he's lucky, himself. Greatly outnumbered, under strength and woefully undersupplied, these Red soldiers fight with all they have left: cunning, bravery and determination.
