Storyline

Starring Nigel Havers as a recovering WWII pilot trying to adapt to life after being shot down. After suffering horrific facial burns when the bomber he is piloting is shot down, Hugh Fleming (Havers)'s once promising future lies in ruins. Abandoned by his girlfriend, and forced to sit out the war while his former colleagues fight on, Fleming's only hope lies with an offer of help from renowned plastic surgeon Angus Meikle (James Fox). Based on the 1980 Christopher Matthew book 'The Long-Haired Boy'. Loosley based on the true story of Richard Hillary with some aspects adapted from Hillary's 1943 book 'The Last Enemy'.
