Experiencing Interruptions?

A Near Run Thing

England, 1814
The country is exhausted from war with France. Napoleon has been forced into abdication and soldiers have finally returned home from Spain.
Amongst them are cavalry Captains Lynch and Forbes, brothers in arms but not in society. Accompanied by his mentor, Lynch, Forbes pays a visit to the country home of his future wife and daughter of the wealthy businessman Henry Westwood.
Whilst dealing with his own demons, it becomes clear to Lynch that all is not what it seems.

The following summer, with Napoleon returning to power, Lynch is in Belgium and part of the Allied Armies final stand. he is returned to his role as an exploring officer with one clear order; Find the French Army. Whilst doing so he finds vital information that he must take to Wellington, only to be obstructed by a vengeful enemy.

This chance meeting catapults him into events that form one of the narratives of the story for the proposed feature films.
