In 1916, Pietro Aquasanta, an Italian rifleman, returns to his childhood
home of the Trentino mountain range to find that it's no longer the realm of

where the elements are as great a threat as the enemy. No weapon of war was more
feared than the White Death, thundering avalanches deliberately caused by cannon
fire which consumed everything in their path.
