In 1919, Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge remains haunted by World War I, during which he was forced to have a soldier executed for refusing to fight. When Rutledge is assigned to investigate a murder involving the military, his emotional war wounds flare. It is a case that strikes dangerously close to home — one that will test Rutledge's precarious grip on his own sanity.
