Summary In 1940s coastal Lincolnshire, Carolyn Holmes is keen to do what she can for the war effort. Raised on the family farm, she is prevented by her mother Lilian from going to secretarial college after leaving the local grammar school - although nothing is too good for her brother Tom. Determined to do her bit, Carolyn leaves to join the ATS, where she meets Beryl Morley, who will become a lifelong friend. After their basic training, Carolyn and Beryl are posted to Beaumanor Hall as 'listeners', intercepting enemy messages which are then sent to Bletchley Park for deciphering. As the war unfolds and their work becomes even more vital, their friendship strengthens. In the dangerous times that follow, they will both need the support of the other as they face personal troubles of their own, and the lives of those they love are put at risk.
