Story: |
Eric Lomax was one of thousands of Allied prisoners of war forced to work on
the construction of the Thai/Burma railway during WW2. His experiences, after
the secret radio he built to bring news and hope to his colleagues was
discovered, left him traumatised and shut off from the world. Years later, he
met Patti, a beautiful woman, on a train and fell in love. Patti was
determined to rid Eric of his demons. Discovering that the young Japanese
officer who haunted her husband was still alive, she faced a terrible
decision. Should Eric be given a chance to confront his tormentor? Would she
stand by him, whatever he did?
