May 1941. After the fall of mainland Greece and shortly before the invasion of the German Army in Athens, the audacious first-year cadet of the Greek Army, Nikiforos Kallergis, is entrusted with transferring the gold of the National Bank of Greece to a safe place in Egypt. However, during his first stop at his homeland of Crete, he comes face-to-face with the Nazis who have already commenced their attack. Now, Nikiforos' brave father, Captain Manousos, has to guide the men through the rugged terrain of Mount Psiloritis, to their rendezvous point with the crew of a Greek destroyer that is waiting for them at the Southern part of the island. But, there's a spy in their midst. Will they succeed in their mission?
