At the end of World War II, a lone prospector (Jorma Tommila) finds a rich vein of gold in the wilds of Lapland in northern Finland. When he travels to the nearest town with his newfound loot, he encounters a retreating detachment of Nazi soldiers led by a ruthless SS Obersturmführer (Aksel Hennie) who wants to confiscate the gold for his own troops. Unfortunately for the entire military unit, this is no ordinary digger, but a mythical "one-man army" that embodies the quintessential Finnish concept of "sisu" - a glittering form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of even overwhelming odds.
