The General’s Daughter

Tweet

Plot
Cpt. Elizabeth Campbell, the brilliant and beautiful General's daughter is found dead and naked in the centre of the army camp. Brenner and Sunhill are sent in to investigate and uncover a shocking story of gang-rape, cover-up and the General's refusal to put his daughter's welfare above his political career.

Verdict
So many twists and turns that any intended message about women in the army gets lost in the muddle.
