It is late June and the summer of 1940 is about to become the myth that will define a generation. But it's real enough for Len Westbourne, a young and inexperienced fighter pilot stationed in South East England. Real too for Stella Gardam, a radar operator with a more worldly attitude altogether. They meet at a dance and fall in love, knowing their time may be short as the War becomes an epic struggle between the Luftwaffe and the RAF: The Battle of Britain.

Class and national barriers begin to break down amid a heady whirl of parties, drinking and promiscuity that distract from the more serious business at hand.
