It is 1916 and Edith Mellor is one of the few female surgeons in Britain. Compelled to use her skills towards the war effort, she travels to the Somme, where she is confronted with the horrors at the front. Yet amongst the bloodshed on the battlefield, there is a ray of light in the form of working class Albert, a corporal from London's East End.

But as the brutality of war reveals itself to Albert, he makes a drastic decision that will change both of their lives forever.

Soon, even the love of gentle Joe, a supervisor at the factory, can't lessen Ada's pain. But a chance encounter with Edith's cousin, Lady Eloise, brings Edith into her life. Together, they realize, they may be able to turn their lives around . . .
