Liverpool, 1946. The fighting has ended, but for one family the postwar years bring fresh hardship. Dora is about to wed Joe, the man she loves, and she hopes to build a business making dresses. Expecting twins, she believes her future is settled. Then a loss in the nursery and a blaze that destroys much of what they own tear her world apart.

Can Dora hold her family together while fighting her own inner battles?
