It's 1939 as war in Europe is declared. For Rose the news fills her with dread, it will surely mean her only son will be called upon to serve his country. Next door, her young neighbour lives each day in fear. Her life is ruled by an abusive and violent husband. She prays that he will be called up. Vi brings a little sunshine into everyone's lives with her humour and generosity. Her ability to make people laugh will help friends and neighbours through the hard times ahead. War will change their lives, but friendship and courage will triumph over all adversities.
