Summary

In rural Northern Ireland during World War II, the US Army Air Corps sets up base next to the town of Moybeg, where English woman Rose Coyne lives with her husband and their three children. With her English accent and her London ways, Rose is the only "stranger" in the community. That is, until 4,000 American servicemen and women arrive along with the handsome Captain Dreyfuss. As Rose finds herself acting as peacekeeper between the disgruntled locals and the airbase, she is also drawn to the engaging young captain. Will Rose risk her family for this forbidden love?
