Plot

As the First World War begins, French soldier Gabriel Ferraud is seriously wounded. Inoculated with a serum that grants extraordinary abilities, he has been chosen to be part of an ultra-secret army experiment to create super soldiers. Now stronger, faster, and more resilient, he joins The Sentinels, an elite unit made up of soldiers who have been similarly gifted with extraordinary abilities.

In parallel with this, he is also the victim of uncontrollable outbursts of violence. It seems he has a telepathic link with another super soldier, but this one is on the enemy side. Gabriel has to face this horrifying new reality that will decide the fate of the war.
