London, 1912. Twins Lester and Lillia Holdsworth are destined for the
stage. Lester is a brilliant pianist; Lillia a magnificent opera singer.
But their cruel father has other ideas for their future. Lester is sent
to a military academy, while Lillia must marry Lord Dalton - a self
righteous, pompous friend of her father's looking for a young wife to
give him an heir.
Yet their plans to defy their father's wishes are put on hold when war
breaks out in 1914. Suddenly Lester is flying planes for the RFC and
Lillia trains as a nurse to help those wounded at home, and then abroad.
For both twins, the fighting brings hardships and difficult choices.
They wait in hope, like the rest of Europe, for the war to end and the
music to start again.
