The MacLeans live in a close-knit community in Glasgow at the start of the Second World War. When Ruby MacLean is 17, she falls pregnant and is forced to marry Gerry Reilly. As their daughter is born, Gerry heads off to war, leaving Ruby to cope alone. Many years later, now retired, Ruby looks back at her family history and uncovers a tale of lies that she could never have suspected....
