During US-brokered negotiations between the North and South, First Lieutenant Gang Eun-pyo (Shin Ha-gyun), an officer in military intelligence, is assigned to the eastern front to investigate suspicious events in Alligator Unit, where company captain Yu appears to have been shot in the head by one of his own men and from which a letter from a Northern soldier to his mother in the South has been traced as having been sent. Gang's superiors suspect there may be a Communist mole in the squad. Also, Gang's college friend Kim Su-hyeok (Goh Su), whom he thought was dead, is now in Alligator Unit. Arriving at Camp Cayman and Aero-K Hill, Gang finds Kim, now promoted to first lieutenant, to be a toughened, charismatic soldier, though in the present circumstances there's the suspicion that he was "turned" by the North during his time in captivity. The squad is highly unconventional: its leader is a 17-year-old morphine addict, Shin Il-yeong (Lee Je-hun); soldiers wear extra North Korean uniforms because of the cold; war orphans hang around the camp; one soldier, Master-Sergeant Yang Hyo-sam (Goh Chang-seok), is originally from the North, and another is schizophrenic. In the hilly, war-torn landscape, both sides fight back and forth over the same small patch of ground, even leaving basic provisions, gifts and letters in an underground dugout that functions like a neutral dropbox. Gradually, as Gang fights alongside the squad, he comes to understand many of the mysteries and the truth of the company captain's death. But that summer, as the war continues in stalemate and truce negotiations over a fixed border line come closer to being realised, North Korean sniper Cha Tae-gyeong (Kim Ok-bin) — nicknamed Two Seconds by the South Koreans — changes the whole dynamics between the two sides around Aero-K Hill. And the North Korean side is now led by Hyeon Jeong-yun (Ryu Seung-ryong), who had originally defeated Gang and Kim at Euijeongbu.
