Glasgow, 1943. A city of falling bombs, dark corners and whispered secrets. In the blitzed blacked-out streets, a naval officer walks into Isla's life and sweeps her off her feet. But by 1944, Isla is fighting a war of her own - with her tempestuous mother, Maggie. As lives become inexorably entwined, the officer's past is in real danger of destroying the family's future.
