The Narrow Road to the Deep North

While writing a speech for an upcoming book launch, renowned surgeon and celebrated war hero, Dorrigo Evans is thrust back into memories of his time as a POW in WW2 and of his brief, yet unforgettable, love affair with Amy Mulvaney. A love which sustained him through this dark time.

Dorrigo has come under investigation for a risky procedure he performed, placing a further strain on his marriage. A marriage that is already feeling the effects of Dorrigos everlasting love for Amy, a love both cannot resist. We also witness Dorrigos deep love and care towards the soldiers when a cholera outbreak spreads through the POW camp, and his friend Rabbit becomes increasingly unwell.

Dorrigo returns from war and tries to get on with his life without Amy and many of his friends he lost to the POW camp. While in the present, the day of the book launch arrives and Dorrigos reflections on his life come to a head.
