A not-so-civil war 1947, and the final bloody chapters of the
Chinese Civil War unleash a tidal wave of Red across the nation. Qi
Jing and his Communist 9th Brigade are given a near-impossible
mission: ford the mighty Yellow River and cut a swathe south
through the Nationalist-held Dabie mountains, regardless of cost.
As the disciplinarian Qi leads his soldiers through wretched
conditions, he comes to rely on the enigmatic Wang Keyu to shore up
flagging morale through education and propaganda. Amid desolate
bluffs and ridges, she proves to be a beacon to the peasant
warriors, especially Cao Shui’er, the commander’s bodyguard. As
the campaign splinters and the fighting devolves into a
hand-to-hand struggle against reluctant countrymen. Cao and an
injured Wang find themselves stranded at the entrance to an
ethereal network of caves. Can they find their way back through
this labyrinth? Or will the walls close in on them?
