An American doctor, Frank Brink, who has been working on possible antidotes for a biological attack is sent to France to find the source of the disease. The Allies are planning to invade Normandy in only a few days, so Frank must move swiftly to prevent the Germans from releasing deadly germs on the invasion forces.
