Season 1:
Four soldiers harboring secrets return to Australia after an unsanctioned mission in Afghanistan results in the death of their leader.
After sessions with the army psychiatrist, our soldiers go on a camping trip where an increasingly paranoid Speedo tries to gauge the men's knowledge of the events in Afghanistan.
The men are called in for an unscheduled reinterview by the army, which bolsters Kim's hopes for Ted to be recognised with a posthumous medal.
Speedo becomes a celebrity, further driving a wedge between himself and an increasingly suspicious Kim. Meanwhile Izzy discovers the tragedy that lies at the heart of his memory loss.
Recalling memories of Ted prior to his deployment, Kim becomes convinced that the increasingly volatile Speedo is responsible for her husband's death.
Kim's accusations threaten maximum damage for Speedo and the Defence Force on Anzac Day. Speedo decides he must reveal the truth about Ted's death.
