Springtime brings new life to the Canterbury farm where Betsy has stayed to train the next intake of land girls. Desperate for news of her fiancé, Roland, a World War II soldier missing in action, Betsy's life remains in limbo, until letters from near and far bring news, both good and bad.

Returning home, battle-scarred and weary, William must find a way to feel whole again. No longer a soldier, he needs to find a purpose before he loses himself in the bottom of a beer bottle. Some would say it should be easy to step back into a pre-war life, but they haven't witnessed what William has seen.

Loyalties are tested and daily struggles are amplified in the battle to overcome their personal challenges. Can Betsy and William find support in each other or will they be forever forced to deny the attraction between them?
