What would you do if you were convinced you were going to die?

Swept up in the frenzy of patriotism, Albert volunteers to serve his king and country.

He is shipped off to the trenches of France along with almost every able-bodied man that he knows, leaving his estranged wife and his child behind.

Convinced he will die a horrible death, he seeks comfort in the arms of Marie, a local French woman who gives him hope his last days might become bearable.

Unfortunately, to do so would mean committing bigamy and he is caught between love and the law.

M J Dees's First World War drama of love, loss and survival is based on a true story.
