After the attack on Stupni Do, Colonel Andreasson and his battalion fear the worst when they learn that the HVO is holding Muslim men captive in a school. Alma's father, Muharem, has also been arrested by the HVO, and she is now trying to rescue him with the help of the UN troops. She manages to send Strand a note with a message. Unfortunately, this does not go unnoticed. And so Alma and her mother are pressured and harassed by HVO soldiers in their apartment. Strand wants to do everything he can to save Alma and her family and even ignores orders, putting his troop leader, Forss, in a difficult position. They are forced to withdraw. When all seems lost, the order comes to hold the position in front of the school. Will the Swedish soldiers be able to free Alma's father and the other Muslim men?

The four young soldiers Strand, Forss, Babic, and Kilpinen have an accident with their armored vehicle. Kilpinen, completely exhausted, drives into a ditch. On the night road, they become easy prey for the Chetniks and are taken hostage. The UN's goal is now to get the four young soldiers back safely. But unfortunately, things aren't looking good. The Chetniks' demands contradict the values and goals of the UN, and Colonel Andreasson cannot comply, even when Forss's father, as Foreign Minister, exerts pressure. The Chetniks are not only holding the four soldiers captive, but also other civilians. Starvation and torture are commonplace. Babic's Serbian-Swedish background proves helpful. He is able to make initial contact with the kidnappers. But will that be enough?
