'On an island off the northern Australian coast, a concrete gun emplacement has been built on the cliff top to repel Japanese forces during World War II. Now deserted, the fort has become a favourite play area for local children. But when a Japanese boy, Hiro, comes to live on the island, fear and prejudice provoke a new and deadly game.'
