Description
London, 1941. When Mary meets a glamorous stranger named Elizabeth, she realises how different their lives are. Beautiful and charming Elizabeth is about to embark on an exciting adventure to Ireland, where she has inherited a grand house. Shy and meek Mary has nothing to look forward to but the dreary life of a maid in Hampstead. Then an air raid forces them to take shelter underground, changing Mary's life forever. After waking in hospital, injured but alive, Mary is mistaken for Elizabeth, and the nurse gives her Elizabeth's suitcase, containing money and tickets to Ireland. It is Mary's chance to escape her hardships and start afresh. Will she take it, and what could go wrong?
