Amidst the mud and blood of Passchendaele in 1917 Private Hamp awaits Court Martial for desertion. His crime? Simply walking away from the slaughter after three solid years at the front during which all his mates have been killed. Captain Hargreaves, the officer detailed to defend him, is initially unsympathetic; however, as he learns the facts of the case he becomes increasingly determined to save Hamp from the firing squad. But his superiors are equally keen to make an example of the unfortunate Private?
