Tom Oakley, a cantankerous old man, is exiled from the life of his village and weighed down with memories. As Britain stands on the brink of World War II, William, an 11-year-old evacuee from London, begins to flourish under Tom's care. The two develop a bond so strong that when William's mother summons him back to Blitz-torn London, Tom fights to save the child from the horrors that await him.
