Noah je iskusni deminer koji je stekao nadimak zbog svoje ljubavi prema životinjama. Na prvoj liniji fronta spašava i obučava napuštene pse. Iznenadni napad ruskih snaga stavlja ga u tešku moralnu dilemu – spasiti živote pasa koje je obučio za otkrivanje eksploziva ili živote vojne jedinice koja se sastoji isključivo od neiskusnih regruta
