Brooklyn, 1943.
James Buchanan Barnes goes to war carrying a girl's letters in the pocket over his heart.
What begins as simple correspondence between home and the front slowly becomes something neither of them knows how to name - written through ink stains, delayed mail, sleepless nights, and oceans between them.
Told entirely through letters, telegrams, and newspaper clippings, this story follows two people trying to hold onto each other while the world changes too fast around them.
Somewhere between Brooklyn and the war, they fall in love.
One letter at a time.
