Sunderland, 1942: Polly's heart and future are hanging in the balance.

Polly's sweetheart Tommy has been declared missing while serving overseas, and although there's no certainty that he is dead, there is no guarantee that he will ever return home. Now Polly needs her friends more than ever, and the other women welders are ready to rally around her while she waits for news.
