An oppressive mood hangs over the small island of Ambon, Indonesia where hundreds of Australian prisoners of war have been massacred by Japanese guards. World War II is over and two officers, Captain Cooper and Lieutenant Corbett, must prosecute the Japanese officers responsible for the massacre. The stories of sadistic torture and systematic executions in the ensuing trials sent shockwaves throughout the world. But, in an explosive showdown between Australian justice, American politics, and the Japanese warrior code, Bushido, will justice be found?
