When Mary meets a glamorous stranger named Elizabeth she realises their lives couldn't be more different. Elizbeth is beautiful and charming, about to set off on a dazzling adventure to Ireland where she s inherited a grand house.

Mary, shy and meek, has nothing to look forward to but the dreary life of a maid in Hampstead.

But when an air raid forces them to take shelter underground Mary s life is suddenly changed forever. After waking up in hospital, injured but alive, the nurse mistakes her for Elizabeth and hands over her suitcase with Elizabeth s money and tickets to Ireland inside.

This is Mary s chance to escape the hardship of her life and start afresh.

Will she take it and what could go wrong?
