In the aftermath of the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, the Israeli government recruits a team of five men to track down and assassinate the Palestinian operatives they hold responsible. The team is led by a young Mossad agent who is driven by patriotism. As they carry out their missions across Europe, the moral weight of their actions and the constant fear of retaliation begin to take a heavy psychological toll, blurring the lines between justice and vengeance.
