The East End of London, 1930. Work is scarce, food is in short supply, and political unrest plagues the streets. Despite these hardships, a strong bond of friendship persists among Becky, Bernie, and Rose, three best friends from vastly different backgrounds.

Becky, the daughter of a Jewish tailor, dreams of becoming a nurse, but her father has other plans for her. She yearns to escape the East End and explore the world, feeling trapped by her large family of impoverished Irish dock workers.

Bernie, on the other hand, feels confined by her family's expectations and the weight of her family's poverty. She longs for a better life, away from the hardships of the East End.

Rose, a tiny and fragile girl, lives with her drunken mother and a series of abusive surrogate fathers who exploit and abuse them both. Her life is a constant struggle for survival.

Despite their differences, the girls find solace and support in each other. As Europe teeters on the brink of another war, their friendships become increasingly vital as each one of them fights for their place in a rapidly changing, frightening, and new world.

One way or another, love will guide them through the challenges they face.
