Holly Morgan thinks she will never find love again after her fiance dies at Dunkirk but she is surprised to find herself falling for a doctor at her hospital.

When Holly loses her fiancee at Dunkirk she thinks that she will never find love again. She throws herself into her work at the local hospital, nursing the hated Germans. Here she meets Dr Peter Schmidt and she knows that her life will never be the same again. Peter moves to another hospital on the island where there is soon an outbreak of typhiod.
