While Alice is forced by the enemy to work in the German hospital Jenny is attracted to the circle of islanders rising up to resist the occupiers. And as the war tightens its grip it will cause each of the sisters to make an extraordinary choice experience unimaginable heartbreak and emerge forever changed. 1996: The war may have ended decades earlier but for the elegant woman sitting alone now the images live on in her memory: her sister's carefree laughter the inky black of a German soldier's boots the little boats that never came back.
