DramaCrimeWar

In the final days of World War I, a reckless order triggers a needless tragedy that leaves two very different soldiers bound together. Scarred by what happened, they try to scrape by in the uneasy aftermath, navigating a society that’s moving on without them while others look for ways to profit from the chaos.

Based on The Great Swindle
