How does war change a human being? Alex Anderson turned 18 in June of 1944. After graduating high school he planned on attending art school and chasing girls. Seven months later he was bombing Japanese military targets on the island of Borneo. On May 31, 1945, his B-26 Marauder was shot down. He was the only survivor. Rescued by friendly Dayak natives, he begins an epic journey through the mysterious jungles of Borneo. Along the way he's befriended by local headhunters and Australian Z-force commandos, all the while being relentlessly pursued by vicious Japanese soldiers. Eventually he's captured and sent to the notorious Batu Lintang prisoner of war camp. It's there that his new journey begins.
