Synopsis: Spanning decades and haunted by war, The Narrow Road to the Deep North follows Dorrigo Evans, an Australian army surgeon whose life is forever shaped by love, loss, and survival.

During World War II, he endures unimaginable cruelty as a prisoner of war on the Thai-Burma railway. At the same time, memories of a forbidden love affair with his uncle’s wife, Amy, linger in his heart, complicating his return to civilian life.
