In 1942, three young women craving adventure join the Women's Timber Corps, all for different reasons. After the rigours of forestry training in Cornwall and a spell as acting air-raid wardens, the trio are posted to the Lake District. But their enemy is the War, and faith and friendship are tested to the utmost.
