Jacob Elordi endures the horrors of a World War II prison camp in the new trailer for the upcoming miniseries, The Narrow Road to the Deep North. 

Based on Richard Flanagan’s celebrated 2014 novel of the same name, Elordi stars as Dorrigo Evans, a young man from Tasmania, who joins the Australian army to fight the Axis powers in the Pacific, only to wind up captured. Forced alongside other POWs to help build to the Burma railroad, the trailer shows how Dorrigo retained some semblance of hope and strength through the memories of his love affair with Amy Mulvaney (Odessa Young). Though their romance was not without its own complications, as Amy was married to Dorrigo’s uncle at the time. 

All that, however, comprises just half the epic. The Narrow Road also stars Ciarán Hinds as Dorrigo in his later years, now a prominent surgeon and reluctant war hero. “We all left part of ourselves in that jungle,” the elder Dorrigo says at the end of the trailer. “Memory is the only true justice.”
