Lyudmila Pavlichenko is a history student and single mother when the German invasion of the Soviet Union draws her into the Red Army. Her marksmanship makes her an effective sniper during the defence of Odesa and the siege of Sevastopol.
After injury removes her from combat, Soviet authorities send her on a publicity mission to the United States. Her friendship with Eleanor Roosevelt develops amid press scrutiny, political performance and a fictional threat designed to turn the celebrated soldier into a target.
