“It is 1915. Jim Linton and Wally Meadows, half a world away from Australia and Billabong, are serving in the British Army. During their initiation into the horrors of trench warfare in France, they experience the enemy's deadly new poison gas. They both spend their convalescence in the green countryside of Ireland, together with Jim's sixteen-year-old sister, Norah, and their father, David. But the rest days spent fishing and riding across the hills, bring unexpected and perilous drama, which they share with a new friend, the gallant Irishman, John O'Neill.”
