September 1940: The Germans sink the SS City of Benares, a ship full of child-evacuees on their way from war-torn England to safety in Canada. Aboard the ship are two sisters – 18-year-old Ruby and 8-year-old Eliza. When Eliza is lost at sea, Ruby begins the long battle to rebuild her life. She discovers hidden strengths in herself as she lives through the York Blitz and trains to be a spy with the SOE. But as war drags on, Ruby unearths a trail of clues that hint at a surprising possibility: her sister may not be dead, after all.
