When, Anna, a young German girl who fled her country, seeks refuge at the local hall, Thea opens up her home, Rookery House, and invites Anna into their growing family. But while many in the village welcome Anna with open arms, others are suspicious of the new arrival . . . As the war intensifies and panic sweeps the country, Anna is taken by the government who fear she's a spy.
