Alice St. Clair, Marianne Oldham and Oona Chaplin star in this six-part World War I drama set in a front-line hospital in France. As nurse Grace Carter (Hermione Norris) is promoted to the position of Matron, much to the dismay of Sister Margaret Quayle (Kerry Fox), three new nurses Flora (St.
Clair), Rosalie (Oldham) and Kitty (Chaplin) turn up to make their contribution to the war effort. The nurses carry out their duty of treating the sick and injured soldiers while hierarchies, class divides and rankings make every day life more and more difficult.
