We are in Nanjing, China in 1937. The city is occupied by Japanese soldiers and a herd of shocked schoolchildren, a dozen of the city's seductive escort girls and an American deserter who pretends to be a priest to save their own skin, seeking refuge in a church. Surrounded by attacking soldiers, they must work together for the next few days to survive.
