The story is set in Montauban, France, in 1944. Julien Dandieu, a mild-mannered surgeon, sends his wife and daughter to their family château in the countryside to keep them safe from the advancing German army. When he goes to visit them a week later, he discovers that a retreating Waffen SS squad has occupied the village and brutally murdered his family.
