Description
Orphan Flossy Brown arrives at Trout's garment factory in Bethnal Green amidst the uncertainty of the Second World War. In 1940s London, each cobbled street is strewn with ghosts of soldiers past, all struggling to make ends meet. For the women of the East End, their battles are on the home front. Flossy quickly finds a new family among the colourful mix of characters working at Trout's, who have turned their sewing expertise to vital war work. As they fast become the support system she has always longed for, Flossy and her colleagues face challenges that test their courage and resilience. As the full force of the Blitz hits London, the women at Trout's are forced to shelter in the underground tube stations on a nightly basis. But with their needles and threads, they arm themselves against the enemy - and each other - in a battle of wits, loyalty, and survival.
