Nestled in the highlands of Loch Ewe during the tumultuous year of 1940, the serene life of Flora, a gamekeeper's daughter, is irreversibly upheaved when her village becomes the nerve center for the Royal Navy's Arctic convoys. Amidst the chaos, Flora finds herself enmeshed in a forbidden romance with the laird's son, a relationship that defies the escalating pressures and disapproval from his father. As the strain on their bond mounts, any promise of happiness is threatened. Fast forward to decades later, where Flora's daughter, Lexie Gordon, a West End singer, finds herself returning to the village that cradled her childhood. Accompanied by her own daughter, Lexie discovers the cottage that raised her is woven with hidden secrets. These revelations compel Lexie to reevaluate her perceptions and confront the truth of her parents' legacy, as well as the sacrifices made in her name. Though reconciliation with her mother is beyond reach, Lexie embarks on a journey of forgiveness, mourning, and the pursuit of her own place in the world.
