 It
is 1914. As war engulfs the British
Empire, a young Royal Navy gunner, George
Royal, is waiting for his next ship
in his home port where his best
friend has fallen in love with
beautiful Carrie, a woman with
secrets. But when she also becomes attracted to
George she
puts the friendship between the two men
in jeopardy.
Unprepared for war, Britain’s
leadership is severely tested. Worse
yet, the Prime Minister’s love for a
young woman occupies his thoughts even
during Cabinet meetings as his
bickering warlords are making fate-changing decisions.
These two stories, separate
but inextricably linked, reveal how
the personal lives and motivations
of leaders can influence the course
of a war and the fate of those
fighting it --
on one hand, the personalities and
machinations of the leaders and, on
the other, George’s coming-of-age
through a love triangle at home and
his experience of the comradeship,
excitement and tragedies of the war at sea.
