WWI in England and the swell of patriotism turns men who refuse to serve in the military into targets. "Conchies" are ridiculed and attacked. Four friends vow to never serve when one of them is murdered. Was he murdered for his pacifism or because of something else? Scotland Yard must solve the case. A fascinating look at the era.
