Five girls join the Women's Royal Army Corps, five very different girls, but their friendship makes the hardships, the square-bashing and the petty humiliations of army life bearable. Isa - determined and focused. She'd looked through the glass ceiling and saw what she wanted on the other side. And she'd do anything to get it; Juliet - she just wanted to have fun; Ruth - steady and dependable, she was expected by her friends to carry all their problems as well as her own; Nell - her marriage to charismatic and ambitious Oliver gave her all the good things in life, but the glossy façade of her life hid a very different reality; Hope - the odd one out.
