In flashbacks that thread through the film, Oliver Woodward is an Australian miner who helps the war effort by supplying copper and, along the way, falls for Marjorie Waddell, a woman ten years his junior. He faces relentless pressure to enlist, especially from Marjorie’s father, and the prospect of service grows clearer when the British Army forms the 1st Australian Tunnelling Company to support the Royal Engineers. Woodward is commissioned to lead this unit, a role that will tether his personal life to a perilous, subterranean frontier.
