As the First World War rolls towards its end, Alice Bennett's relief at hearing her husband, Sebastian, is alive is tempered with concern that he is wounded, but when he finally comes home Alice learns that not all scars are visible and sometimes those you can't see are the hardest to heal... Meanwhile, Clara O'Toole's search for her missing Aunt Gertie brings her into contact with a whole new extended family. She is over the moon to find she has a cousin, but is she ready to be drawn into the tragedies, secrets - and dangers - of the family's past?
