East London, 1940. Prue Carmichael never dreamed that she’d end up working at a railway yard. But when her reverend father is called to minister in Stepney, she and her family are uprooted from their country home for a new life in the turbulent city.

Determined to help her country, Prue joins the war effort at the railway – where handsome train engineer Jack Quinn soon catches her eye. But as the spark between them grows apparent, so does Jack’s troubled past – a past that Prue’s mother would certainly not approve of.

In between cleaning train carriages and helping to shelter Jewish refugees, Prue manages to stay busy. But she has more than one admirer, and when Jack is recruited into Churchill’s secret army, a very different suitor begins to pursue her.

As air raid sirens sound overhead, Prue Carmichael is facing her own battle – the fight between her heart and her head. Amidst the ruins of war, will Prue and Jack’s love find a way?
