Colin and Rachel are lovers who become separated when the Japanese invade Sarawak, Borneo, in December 1941. Colin escapes into the jungle but is seriously injured. He is discovered and adopted by the indigenous Iban, the notorious head-hunters of Borneo. Rachel is interned and starts over three years of cruelty and heartache. After Colin is integrated into the Iban's way of life, he takes an Iban wife, Aslah, and has a son, Dani. The war progresses and when the Iban's existence is threatened, Colin, assumes an aggressive stance and leads Iban warriors in their first attack against the Japanese. Following her incarceration Rachel discovers she is pregnant, but submits to the inexorable decline into subsistence living. Regardless, she gives birth to Angelique who could be nobody else's but Colin's. Colin and Rachel existences are diametrically opposed but both are determined to survive the war and rediscover what was taken away from them, neither knowing what the other has been through. 'The Loser Has To Fall' tells the story of a moving love triangle but at the same time it balances the adversity and brutality of internment with the courage and diversity war brings.
