In 1922, amidst the Turkish invasion of Smyrna, Zoë Haggitiris, a young girl, finds herself compelled to flee with her family. Tragedy strikes as they escape, leaving Zoë alone and adrift in the icy waters. Fortunately, a passing ship rescues her, and she becomes a refugee among a sea of desperate individuals. During this challenging period, her life is touched by an English boy named Tom Collyer, and the kindness of a stranger leads her to a new beginning.
Fast forward to 1941, Greece. Amidst the chaos of the British retreat, Tom and Zoë are briefly reunited, cherishing the precious time they have together. However, fate intervenes, separating them once again. Tom will come to realize that the war will not conclude easily for either of them, and the journey to reunite with Zoë will be fraught with obstacles.
If they manage to find their way back to each other, they will discover that nothing will ever be the same again. The war has left scars on their hearts and souls, shaping their lives in profound ways. Through their trials and tribulations, Tom and Zoë will learn the true meaning of resilience, love, and the power of hope. Their story is a testament to the human spirit's enduring strength in the face of adversity.
