In wartime London, Winder Street clings to survival as the Blitz tears through the East End.

London, 1940. Chrissie runs a busy newsstand with grit and warmth while her husband Jim is away fighting.

But everything changes when Chrissie, full of hope, discovers she’s pregnant, then learns that the war has taken Jim from her.

Chrissie employs a youth, Freddy, to help her with her newspaper business and leans on her tight-knit community for support while she grieves. As the bombs rain down and the city trembles, Freddy is suddenly left with no home, no parents or family, until Chrissie, with a heart big enough to defy the war itself, takes him in without hesitation. Chrissie’s compassion becomes his only steady light in an uncertain world. But just as she begins to lose faith, Sam, a dockworker linked to Freddy’s past, steps forward, determined to help them survive together in a city under fire.
