WHEN REVENGE IS NOT ENOUGH... After the murder of their beloved battalion commander, two Marines are forced to confront their heartbreaking pasts while scouring the jungle in search of the killer. Their search is haunted by a Japanese soldier running the jungles, refusing to surrender. Along the way, both confront their buried, pent-up emotions through forgiveness and love: one through the love of a Filipino woman and the other through coming to grips with the truth of his father's suicide.Set on a Philippine Island in early 1965 prior to the Marines shipping off to fight in Vietnam, this story deals with powerful themes of physical and emotional trauma, abuse, and toxic masculinity within the American military.
