The war overseas may be over, but the war on our shores has just begun...
Britain is forever changed and trying to rebuild in the aftermath of WW2. It's a time for celebration of the victory, solemnity for those lost and depending on community now more than ever to thrive in a new global market.
Despite everything against her, Ruth Fraser managed to make a name for herself during the War, even if it meant putting her love life on hold. Now that the world seems to be righting itself again, Lieutenant Thomas Murray seems to fall straight into her lap.
But whilst Britain's record for fight for what is right during the War looks great in the history books, these ideologies don't seem to filter through back on shore and Tommy and Ruth's interracial relationship causes issues in their community. Can they make it together?
