Cage of War

Captured by Viet Cong in late 1960s during the Vietnam War, Australian soldier James 'Ned' Kelly is imprisoned in a bamboo cage in the Mekong River, with fellow captive Brady. They're eventually 'rescued' by a Special CIA Covert team. They soon discover the rescue is part of an elaborate, corrupt and clandestine war tourism operation - 'Tiger Hunts', where wealthy Japanese businessmen pay to hunt & kill real VC soldiers. Kelly & Brady reluctantly join the 'Tiger Hunts', ultimately uncovering dark & suspenseful secrets, including war crimes, political assassinations, & drug trafficking tied to the covert teams. A catastrophic 'Tiger Hunt' leaves Kelly, Brady, & one Japanese 'Tiger' as the only survivors; they're rescued & taken to a US Hospital ship to recover. Years later, back to Australia, Kelly is settled on a small farm in the Adelaide Hills. A deadly chain of events is sparked, targeting Kelly, his veteran friends & loved ones. The fallout threatens to also expose the surviving 'Tiger', now a prominent Japanese politician, & the rogue CIA operations behind the 'Tiger Hunts'. To stop the violence escalating, Kelly teams up with old colleagues to expose the truth, bringing the dark past to light via exposure in the international media.
