It is the midst of the Second World War and rationing is tightening everyone's belts. Yet down the dark alleyways of the French capital Paris, you would find a man who could get you anything on the underground market. When a captured American ranger receives news from home, he knows he must escape from the Nazi prison camp in East Germany and embark on a quest to get to a neutral land, so he may return to his wife in America. Unexpectedly the ranger finds himself becoming mixed up in the Paris black-market syndicate. Can he survive long enough to afford his escape? Can he be homebound once again?
