William Robertson is a torn man.

Nearly four and a half years since his once beloved eldest brother, Albert, fled the clergy to elope with a woman, the couple are now blacklisted from both families and William has come to despise Albert for the effect his actions have had on the family.

With war now raging across Europe, the same sinister clouds are looming over the Pacific nations. William’s desire to serve is met when he enlists with the Royal New Zealand Air Force and is assigned to 75 New Zealand Squadron as an aircraft navigator and bomb aimer, stationed at RAF Feltwell, Norfolk.

Meeting a South African nurse, Darlene du Toit, after getting injured on his first combat mission, he starts to see parallels between his own life and Albert’s. Darlene must deal with the horrors of ever-increasing casualties from Bomber Command sorties over Germany and occupied Europe. Two mysterious strangers cross her path, quickly becoming a danger to Darlene’s life…

Based on true events, this powerful story traces a man’s conflicts with family honour, his service to King and Country, pain at losing his brother from his life and his burgeoning love for a woman.
