Thommo returns from Vietnam to an Australia that regards hima as a mercenary guilty of war crimes. He begins to develop all kinds of physical & mental problems, he finds he's not alone. All who remain of his platoon who fought & died in the Battle of Long Tan, are affected the same way. When Wendy's infant daughter is dying & needs a bone-marrow transplant, Hell hath no fury as she sets out to mould this bunch of ex jungle fighters who are so screwed up they probably couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag, into a unit that will fight for justice, by fair means or foul.
