New York journalist Ruby Sutton arrives in London in 1940. This is a career opportunity for her to cover the war in Europe without bias. Ruby faces a mixed reaction - she is a foreigner, a woman, and not everyone is happy with her presence in the thick of things. But in a crazy world where every day you can lose everything, even your life, Ruby understands that only true friendship, love and mutual support can make things easier for people. And Ruby falls in love. Just what does it mean to love a person whose life is shrouded in mystery and who risks himself every day? Ruby finds it increasingly difficult to remain neutral, especially when bombs begin to be dropped on the city.
