It is the final weeks of the World War Two and the Japanese forces are in retreat. Young Spitfire pilot, Edward Strickland is based in the South Pacific. His task is to search and destroy any remnants of the once mighty Imperial Army. During a dawn patrol he is forced to ditch his aircraft near a remote island. Close to death he is hauled up onto the deck of a Japanese ship by the commander of a small Japanese company who have remained hidden on the island throughout the war. Although, the Japanese commander treats the young pilot with appalling brutality Strickland refuses to be broken. The battle of wills that follows brings the men together as brothers in arms. But there is little space for mutual understanding and friendship in war. A storm is gathering and Japan's sudden surrender severs the two men's relationship for ever.
