September 7th, 1940. The Isle of Dogs, heart of London's docklands, suffers the first terrible night of a nine month-long Blitz. Amidst the death and destruction, young, lonely Connie Marsh finds an orphaned baby boy amongst the rubble. Not long after, she finds herself falling in love with handsome Vic Champion, the part-time ARP warden who helps her rescue the child they've named Lucky. But Connie's happiness is not to last. When his call-up papers arrive, Vic leaves for the navy and Connie knows she might never see him again. When a sinister figure emerges claiming to be Lucky's grandfather, she faces the threat of losing her son as well. And when dashing G. I. Clint Hershey reveals his admiration for her, Connie must choose between that which is close to home and Vic, the man she truly loves.
