He is brutally tortured and forced, along with his fellow captives, to build the Thai-Burma Railway. Many years later an older Lomax is still traumatised by the experience. Supported by his wife Patti and friend Finlay, he decides to track down one of his torturers, Takashi Nagase, hoping to find the answers that will enable him to finally let go of the hatred he has held for so long.
