Cleethorpes, September 1940

Singer Jessie Delaney has finally got her big break in London’s West End and is determined to make the most of her golden opportunity, even with the start of the Blitz.

Lonely, and lacking the guidance of friends and family, Jessie hopes that seasoned performer Adele Bailey will help her find her feet. But, when fame beckons, friendships are tested and loyalties divided.

Meanwhile, back in Cleethorpes, Frances Randolph is busy running the Palace Theatre whilst her husband serves his King and Country, and Ginny Thompson returns home to Sheffield to care for her sick but abusive father.

Will Jessie make the right choices as she navigates her way to the top – and can Ginny and Frances find their way back to the limelight?
