The unit is comprised of children with special talents and is tasked with combating supernatural threats that seek to exploit the chaos of the war. Nadya survives a Nazi airstrike but loses her memory. She later reconnects with the spirit realm, where she learns of a looming threat from Baron von Wolff, a German nobleman resurrected from the dead, who leads an army of undead crusaders.

As they face ever-growing challenges, Nadya’s abilities become crucial to the survival of not just her team but her country.
