Details: In the autumn of 1942, fifteen year old Ruby is collected from her aunt's guesthouse by her grandfather. She is taken to live with him in a village in industrial Lancashire, where a few days after her arrival, a number of US Quartermaster Truck Companies of black troops take over a nearby camp. Bo, Con & Wes are ready to help with the war effort, but instead are alienated & mistrusted by their own white sergeants, forcing them to pass the days in the village. Before long tension rises between the newly arrived troops & the locals, many of whom still have embedded racial prejudices.
