Far away in France, what came to be known as the Great War moves inexorably on. The peaceful calm of Cresswell Manor in Devon is shattering. More and more soldiers arrive home to recover from their wounds and convalesce their minds and their bodies broken.

Some of the women battle on and remain faithful, while loneliness encourages others to stray.
