Bill is a 15-year-old runaway evacuee, and he's finding that surviving on the streets of London is pretty easy. Things get more complicated for Bill with the arrival of Julie. She's a runaway too, and although she's a bit posh, she's just as determined as Bill to stay free of interfering parents and 'the social'. But although it's fun for a while to duck Jerry missiles and camp out in bombed-out houses, the reality of living through the Blitz quickly begins to set in.

When her mother dies, Marian realises she has left it too late to ask the crucial questions about the identity of her own father, 'lost in the War'. Marian's search takes her to the remote and close-knit community of St. Ives, where fisherfolk and artists have coexisted for many years, and where she learns of a tragedy involving her father.
