August, 1939. Three young women's lives are about to change, as war with Germany looms... Working in the Home Office's Air Raid Precautions Department, Nora hopes that conflict can be averted. Hazel, too, is optimistic - though she is hiding secrets from her friends. But as a German ex-pat, with family living under Nazi rule, it is Marie who has the most to fear. When Germany invades Poland, and tensions on the home front rise, Marie is labelled an enemy alien. Forced to choose between loyalty and patriotism, her friends must fight to keep her safe at any cost...
