Laura, a laundress, meets her husband while both are in service in Teignmouth in 1914. They have a son, Charles, but her husband returns from the war a changed man, suffering from tuberculosis, which soon leaves Laura a widow. As another war approaches, Charles joins the navy as a coder. This decision takes him away from the small-town gossip of Launceston and into a life filled with action and danger. The story explores the complex relationship between mother and son against the backdrop of war and personal loss.
