Father Damien is a Catholic priest at Saint Francis in Bergamo, Italy during World
War II. He has witnessed the oppression and brutality that the German occupation
has brought to his community. His primary concern is to shelter a handful of citizens
who have sought sanctuary in his church. Among the elderly and unable to travel are
seven young men who stay behind to protect their families. Father Damien and his
force have the opportunity to confront Colonel Anton Fahn of the German regiment
that attacked the sister city of Clusone to the north. They ransacked the village and
have taken everything of value that they could carry on their way to Switzerland. Their
detour to Bergamo to the south has disturbed his fellow officers. The Americans have
landed in Genova, Italy just six hours to the south west of Bergamo and there is not
much time left for the Germans to complete their thievery. Father Damien organizes
the resistance to the German’s encroachment on their town and prays for deliverance
by the Americans.
