England, 1939. Lily Baker wants more from life. With one job at a textile factory and another at the local cinema, the working-class young woman determinedly saves her pennies for an education to get ahead. But after she's attacked one night while locking up at the cinema, she loses her heart to her dashing rescuer - despite him being from the posh end of her street. Though she never believed she'd see this lovely man again, Lily is nevertheless astonished when a gigantic wall is erected to ensure poor folks like her cannot cross into the toffs' side. And while the handsome bloke surprisingly continues to court her, battles with the city council over the barrier and the looming threat of war with Germany threaten to separate them forever. Will global conflict and local unrest rob a young woman of her only chance at love?
