In the occupied France of 1940, the staff at a field hospital are faced with a difficult decision. As they draw straws to determine who will join the evacuation from Dunkirk, Nurse Cate is left behind. However, when the Nazis arrive to claim prisoners of war, Cate seizes the opportunity and escapes into the night, taking one patient with her.
Fifty miles away, the surrendering soldiers of the Royal Norfolk Regiment are brutally gunned down by the advancing German forces. Beneath the pile of bodies, two men miraculously survive, crawling to the safety of a nearby farmhouse. There, sisters Elise and Adelaide risk their lives to offer them shelter, putting their own safety on the line.
When Cate, along with her injured soldier, also arrives at the farmhouse door, the pressure intensifies. The sisters are now responsible for the well-being of multiple individuals, all while the Nazis draw ever closer. As relationships within the farmhouse deepen, each person must confront the question of how far they are willing to go for the sake of family, friendship, and love.
The narrative explores the profound sacrifices and ethical dilemmas faced by the characters in their pursuit of survival and the preservation of human connections. With the Nazis closing in and the stakes continually rising, the characters are forced to make difficult choices that challenge their moral convictions and test the limits of their compassion.
Throughout the story, the themes of loyalty, resilience, and the enduring power of human bonds are woven together, creating a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of the human experience in the face of extraordinary adversity. The characters' journeys and the decisions they make serve as a poignant reflection on the depths of the human spirit and the lengths one will go to protect those they hold dear.
