2006. Corporal GH Ash and three other Australian SAS soldiers are trapped inside an Afghan village. The rest of their team has just been killed by an IED.  Their communications have been destroyed and they have no idea as to the strength of their enemy lurking outside. Nerves are stretched beyond breaking point as the possibility that this could be the end looms large. Into this world arrives the Taliban Fighter, their prisoner and possibly the only hope for survival. As their numbers dwindle, Ash and the Taliban fighter come to a sort of understanding of each other’s position and the realization that they face a common foe in the light of the Taliban fighter’s final revelation. Completely unmasked, there is nothing left but to fight for their own as well as each other’s survival.
