1942: A German aircraft crashes into a house in Worthing and causes complete devastation to the local community. Three strangers meet for the first time that day – Pip, Stella and Lillian.

They also have the same love of singing and soon form the Sussex Sisters, Worthing’s answer to the Andrews Sisters. When D-Day finally arrives, it’s the promise of a brighter future they have all been longing for. But the men who return home are altogether different from the husbands they waved off…
