Following the Allied victory in North Africa in 1941, 1,000 Italian soldiers were sent as laborers to build barriers on a remote island off the Scottish coast. Their arrival terrified the islanders. After three years of war and the constant threat of invasion, they fear enemy prisoners and refuse to tolerate their presence. Most see the Italians as bloodthirsty enemies, but for two sisters, Dorothy and Constance, they are merely exhausted, sick, and wounded, unaccustomed to the cold of the Orkney winter. The girls help the prisoners as best they can. Dorothy is immediately drawn to Cesare, a very young man whose psyche has been broken by the horrors of war. As the war drags on, tensions between the islanders and the outsiders mount. Dorothy's bond with Cesare threatens another bond—that with her sister, Constance. After the death of their parents, the sisters relied only on each other, and now their closeness is under threat... And one fateful evening they will have to make a choice that will have devastating consequences.
