It is 1938, and Prime Minister Chamberlain returns from Munich promising peace, but there are those who, like Ted Dewhirst, remain unconvinced. Fit and athletic, he is eager to serve his country, and he volunteers immediately for military service, only for his hopes to be dashed when he is rejected because of a food allergy.
Determined to make his contribution, he joins the Auxiliary Fire Service, putting his earlier disappointment aside and training with total enthusiasm. He sees some action in the north, but is impatient for more.
Transferred to London's beleaguered East End, he finds new satisfaction in rescuing trapped victims and fighting dockland fires. He discovers a special kinship with colleagues, who come from varied backgrounds, but who share one purpose. He also finds romance.
Amid the carnage of the Blitz, Ted's courage, values and resilience are tested repeatedly, but he can only live from one day to the next, because no one knows who will be the next victim of the incessant bombing.
