1936. Clouds are looming over Europe. Uncertainty hangs in the air. It's been less than 20 years since The Great War and there's talk of still darker times ahead.
A young Englishman caught in the middle of the Italo-Abyssinian War joins up with the Red Cross Humanitarian Ambulance Team to do what he can to help in the war effort, and forges bonds that will carry with him through the darkest days of Spanish Civil War and beyond. Bonds that will stay forged for the rest of his life.
