But Ireland during the Emergency' is an uneasy place, and word of the parachute soon spreads. Meanwhile, Elsa is haunted by the plight of the parents she left behind and with the threat of Nazi invasion, she feels far from secure. After a chance encounter with Elsa, Charlie, a young medical student, finds himself falling in love. Oskar, Kitty, Elsa, Charlie.
