An Australian Army nurse faces the brutality of World War II in Singapore and New Guinea. Seeking a change after the war, she accepts a job as a nanny to a British diplomatic family moving to Berlin, only to find she is caught up in the Blockade of 1948. Through it all, the death of a man barely known, casts a shadow that refuses to lift.

A dual-time story of friendship, of despair, of lost love, and the quiet courage to start again.
