February 1942. The Americans have finally joined Britain and its allies. Meanwhile, 23-year-old Francesca Fabrino, like many other women, is doing her bit for the war effort in a factory in East London. Her thoughts are occupied by her unrequited love for Charlie Brogan, who's recently married a woman of questionable reputation, before being shipped out to North Africa with the Eighth Army. When Francesca starts working as an Italian translator for the BBC Overseas Department, she meets handsome Count Leonardo D'Angelo. Just as Francesca has begun to put her hopeless love for Charlie to one side and embrace the affections of this charming and impressive man, Charlie returns from the front, his marriage in ruins and his heart burning for Francesca at last. Could she, a good Catholic girl, countenance an illicit affair with the man she's always longed for? Or should she choose a less dangerous path?
