Set in World War II, Five Days of Fire is a suspenseful story of a U.S. platoon that crosses into enemy territory to secure a German weapons designer. Captain Casdorph must lead a group of men that is becoming increasingly divided. As the enemy attempts to impede their progress from the outside, the platoon becomes torn apart from the inside. One of the soldiers, Jimmy Pratt, must overcome his fear of death to complete the mission.—Mason Stoddard
