On the remote Pacific Island of New Aachen, the site of a massacre of Australian troops three years prior, tensions run high. David Wachter, a veteran turned war historian clerk, joins a group of correspondents to cover the conflict and bring home the story of these battle-worn Australian troops. In a tense week, Wachter and his group will confront how they can--and can't--depict the truth of war.
