Description

Tortured by his time in the trenches and slandered for not fighting on the field, Harry Thomas writes propaganda for the government in World War Two. From his small office in Kingsbridge, Harry spends every ounce of his time hunched over his typewriter. Days and nights become one as he tries to balance his work life and relationships, specifically with his wife Mary and his assistant Angeline. With the pressure building and the typewriter rattling away to the point of insanity, a young evacuee named Eddie enters his home, changing his life forever.
