Synopsis
1942. Determined to do her bit for the war effort, Yorkshire lass Evie Sinclair leaves her island home to become an ack-ack gunner girl, defending Britain from Luftwaffe attacks. Evie embarks on a gruelling training programme with fellow recruits Lily and Gloria - and the three become firm friends. At a local dance, Evie meets handsome young RAF pilot, Matt, and the pair begin a passionate romance. Then tragedy strikes. Forced to leave the services, Evie returns home - only to be shunned by her disapproving mother. Alone and pregnant, Evie is determined to keep her baby. But life will be tough for a penniless unmarried mother at a time when women are judged harshly and the men are away at war. It's a long way from Evie's carefree days as a gunner girl. Will she ever be reunited with Lily and Gloria?
