It's 2003. An Australian man is captured by US forces in Afghanistan and imprisoned at the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on terrorism charges.
The prisoner's defence lawyer is a United States Marine Corps lawyer named Dan Mori.
He's about to be thrust onto the world stage in a fight against his own country's military and political establishment.
(Update: The US government has revoked a plea deal with the men accused of plotting the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al-Hawsawi.)
