A group of terrified schoolgirls hides in the compound of an American church. Among them is Shujuan, through whose thirteen-year-old eyes we witness the shocking events that follow.

As they pour through the streets of Nanking, raping and pillaging the civilian population, the girls are in increasing danger.
