But her marriage quickly turns sour and leads to an affair with an old lover, and to a baby boy, Desmond.

With her personal life in tatters and WWII approaching, she volunteers as a secret agent, smuggling valuable information into Europe for the British government.

But when Caroline finally returns from the war, Desmond is gone.

Will she be able to track him down?2002, Australia. When Melissa discovers a postcard addressed to 'Desmond' among her recently deceased father's effects, she is determined to discover this person's identity and his relationship to her father.
