With amazing psychic powers and trained as an assassin, she is recruited by the Russian army during World War II to become a member of FIRST SQUAD, a special fighting unit specializing in combating paranormal forces. When she is the last member left standing in a brutal attack, she is returned to the unit for a special project - to bring her comrades back from the dead to fight Von Wolff, a 700-year-old spirit brought back to life to help the Nazis take over the world.
