Après avoir passé des années à combattre dans le monde entier pour l'armée anglaise, le ranger Martin Feeney la déserte pour enfin retourner dans son pays afin de retrouver ses proches. Pourtant, dès son arrivée, il découvre une terre de désolation, ravagée et détruite par la famine, la misère et la maladie. Alors que la plupart des habitants sont renvoyés de chez eux par les percepteurs anglais, les forçant à errer sur les routes, Feeney apprend notamment le décès de sa mère survenu un an plus tôt, emportée par une fièvre mortelle, mais également la pendaison de son frère, condamné à mort après avoir volé de la nourriture et le départ prochain de sa belle-sœur et de ses enfants pour les Amériques.

MGB leadership refuses to acknowledge the deaths as murders, however, because Soviet doctrine states that only capitalism creates serial killers. The son of Leo's partner is murdered by the serial killer, and during Leo's investigation, his wife, Raisa (Noomi Rapace), is accused of being disloyal to the state. Leo suspects that his amoral and ambitious enemy in the MGB, Vasili Nikitin, is behind the charges.

The movie follows the events and hardships suffered by the nine companies, roughly 550 men, of the United States Army 77th Infantry Division ("Statue of Liberty") that had been completely cut off and surrounded by German forces a short distance away in the Argonne Forest. The force was led by Maj. Charles W. Whittlesey, who was disparagingly described as a "New York lawyer" by his commanders. The battalion was part of what was supposed to be a three-pronged attack through the German lines. The battalion believed another American force was on its right flank and a French force on its left, not knowing that they had both retreated. The battalion lost contact with headquarters. Whittlesey sent several runners to headquarters, but none of them returned. He ended up having to rely on carrier pigeons to communicate. During the siege, American artillery began firing on the German position in the forest as the Americans cheered. However, the artillery began falling on the American line, killing numerous men in friendly fire. Whittlesey sends a pigeon to headquarters with a message saying they were being hit by their own artillery, saying, "For heaven's sake, stop it". The headquarters receives the message and stops firing. Witnessing the incident, the Germans attack the disoriented American force, but they are repelled by the Americans in fierce fighting and retreat back to their trenches.
