PlotThe story begins with a young British soldier, Kevin Deakin, who is presumed dead during the Falklands War. After a lengthy period, Kevin shockingly reappears, triggering a mix of emotions among his family and community. Initially welcomed back as a hero, Kevin’s sudden return quickly raises unsettling questions. How did he survive, and why was he unable to make contact for such an extended period? The media and military authorities fuel these suspicions as they probe into his past, creating tension between Kevin and those around him.
As Kevin attempts to resume a normal life, he confronts increasing alienation and mistrust from his peers, who view him with skepticism and disdain. At home, the atmosphere is equally strained; his family struggles to understand his erratic behavior and the trauma he endured. The once-celebrated hero finds himself isolated, grappling with his own identity and purpose. His journey becomes one of personal redemption, as Kevin seeks to navigate the complex web of suspicion, loyalty, and the haunting memories of his wartime experiences.
