Description
Dorothea's life in London is turned upside down when her husband Raif goes off to fight in World War 2. After a heated argument, he tells her he won't be coming back, and she makes the difficult decision to leave their townhouse behind. She sets out for Blythe Wood, the family home in Somerset, accompanied by her housekeeper Grace and young maid Daisy. As the war rages on, Dorothea's doorstep becomes a refuge for those fleeing the blitz and destitution. Her two sisters join her, along with four evacuee children who require her care and education. Over time, she forms strong bonds with them, but the thought of parting with these young lives is unbearable. As the reality of war takes hold, Dorothea must confront the challenges of survival and the possibility that she may never see her husband Raif again.
