Liverpool, Christmas 1938. Rose McAllister is waiting for her husband, Steve, to come home. He is a seaman, often drunk and violent, but Rose does her best to cope and see that her daughters, Daisy and Petal, suffer as little as possible.

Devastated, she throws herself into the war effort, risking her life before she considers finding out what really happened that fateful night...
