Richmond, Surrey, 1940.

Overhead, the Battle of Britain rages. Below, at the Poppy Factory, disabled WWI veterans assemble remembrance wreaths while working on a secret wartime project.

On the nearby estate, three very different young women face the challenges of war.

Ambitious Carrie dreams of university, spirited Sarah longs to serve on the home front, and quiet newcomer Mabel hides her own secrets.

When the Blitz begins, their lives are thrown together in ways they could never have imagined. As danger closes in, can the Poppy Girls unite to protect their home…and each other?
