Six part political thriller about an ex-army sergeant with a secret from the Bosnian conflict, and a war crimes prosecutor's search for the truth. The discovery of a mass grave in Bosnia, precipitated by a media leak in London, sends Lucas on the track of the disparate band of men, now scattered throughout New Zealand, who once served under him, and whose only common element now is their shared experience of a horror in Bosnia - and the maintenance of the secret of what happened during that twenty four hours a decade ago. When Lucas reappears in the lives of his former squaddies, he comes like a spectre from a past most of them seem desperate to forget, a past which threatens their present. As Lucas the hunter becomes the hunted, Sophie discovers what really happened in Bosnia. And while Lucas finds that betrayal and redemption live in close proximity, Sophie finds that knowing the truth means sharing the secret. And both learn that love can be found in the most surprising places. |
