Cain and Abe are two brothers who, during the First World War, enlisted as British soldiers. Their duty is to kill any soldier who deserts the battlefield. Cain is a strong and tough man, with more experience as a soldier, unlike his little brother who recently joined the army. With Cain’s assistance, Abe will learn to forsake his humanity in order to carry out his job without remorse, regardless of who is at the receiving end of the rifle.
