A man sits at a lookout contemplating his future. When Jack Kelly signed up, the war was meant to be over by Christmas. It was supposed to be an adventure, a chance to escape his life for a little.

A man sits at a lookout contemplating his future. When Jack Kelly signed up, the war was meant to be over by Christmas. It was supposed to be an adventure, a chance to escape his life for a little. Something to tell the grand-kids about. It wasn't the adventure they promised. The war didn't stay 'over there', it slipped its bonds in Europe and travelled all the way to his little town of Katoomba. It wasn't meant to set neighbour against neighbour, friend against friend. Yet it had. Wife, brother, friends, all would be touched by the conflict in one way or the other. Poisoning the Nest, examines the damage done to individuals, families and society, by Australia's involvement in the First World War. It tells the forgotten story of the home front, from the perspective of both supporters and opponents of the war. Intermingling with this story, is a meditation on the nature of heroes, and the desire to construct myths. Myths, which simplify difficult and painful histories, both in the private sphere and as a society.
