A US prisoner of war in the Korean War is subjected to mind control and becomes a unwitting agent of a global Communist plot.

Major Bennett Marco, an intelligence officer, has a recurring nightmare about his Korean War unit where two soldiers were killed by his Sergeant, Raymond Shaw, who received the Medal of Honor. Marco's nightmares are shared by others in his unit, leading him to suspect that something happened to them in Korea and that Shaw is the key.
