Kathy Cole, is a determined young woman. She refuses to stay at home with her bitter, drunken father & is instead determined to do her bit for the men in the Great War by training to be a nurse.

While in training, she meets up with a face from the past – Tom O’ Rourke – now a doctor with many responsibilities. He doesnt initially take much notice of the young, innocent Kathy & she knows it’s wrong to think of Tom as anything other than a friend, especially as shes promised to Billy Ryan back home in the East End.

However, Kathy & Tom find themselves thrown together &, like so many other young couples during the war, they become closer than they should.

But when the war is finally over, Kathy makes a life-changing decision about her future, believing it to be the only possible solution... with disastrous effects.
