Description
In a time when the world is still recovering from the aftermath of World War II...
A man leaves his history in the war and his devastating wounds of his murdered family. But the war will not fade far from his mind as memories flow from the deaths at Dresden to Germany; the deserters; the killing fields...littered by dead bodies...hospitals overwhelmed and refugee centres, so under-supported...
Rolf Krieger arrives in Adelaide after leaving Germany for a new life. He uses his skills as a carpenter to gain work with Bill Kelly, a good man who becomes a friend and confidant.
He finds love in the arms of Bill's sister, Elaine, a war widow with two children. He experiences happiness, until events from his past track him down as a stranger who believes Rolf stole from a dying aristocrat as the war ended and now wants Rolf to repay the sin with his blood...
They come together to rebuild their lives after the dynamics of a conflict that so far has ruined them...
Peace will not be found at the end of this war...
