A brutal, unflinching examination of institutional cruelty and human degradation within the military, where soldiers are broken not by enemy fire but by their own chain of command.

North Africa, World War II. British soldiers on the brink of collapse push beyond endurance to struggle up a brutal incline. It's not a military objective. It's The Hill, a manmade instrument of torture, a tower of sand seared by a white-hot sun. And the troops' tormentors are not the enemy, but their own comrades-at-arms.
