TENDER
Tortured, beaten and alone, a broken soldier is tragically reminded that he must find the strength to survive.
Captured, tortured, beaten and forgotten, the best Lieutenant Andrew James can hope for is that death comes soon. But when another soldier gets thrown in the cell next to him, all that is about to change.
In the face of unimaginable horror and unending torture, is mateship, compassion and a human touch enough to bring someone back from the brink? |
