| Somewhere along the frontlines of northern France, during the later years of the Great War, Chris Lambert and his friend Deepak, struggle day by day to survive while trying to keep their sanity. Chris' only desire is to return home to the Irish village where he grew-up. He knows that a mundane life without any chance of improvement will be his fate if he survives the war, but as long as Jane, the girl of his dreams, waits for him back home then nothing else matters.
Deepak Shrestha also wants to return to his native country of Nepal to be with his wife and children, but first he must earn money as a mercenary in the Royal British Army to support his family. Will they survive, will there be anything left of the world they knew of if they do? Will Deepak convince Chris to forget about Jane and develop an interest in his cousin Zebba?
