WWI was the trench war and this film depicts this very clearly. 500 meters ahead would be the other side's trenches. Intelligence is obtained which requires a message to be delivered to a platoon behind enemy lines. Two men are picked to undertake this journey.

This film covers that dramatic journey, taking the audience along for the slog into the unexpected.

Anxious moments with unknown outcomes make this film a gripping drama and covers the horrid experiences of the messengers in enemy territory.
