In 1942, a group of young women arrive in Cairo, Egypt. The Tuis, names after the beautiful songbird, are to look after the men returning from the front line - to provide a touch of home and lift their dwindling spirits.

Addy joined the Tuis for the adventure. Vivacious and outgoing, she is the life of the party, with an unforgettable voice. Margot is quiet and withdrawn, grieving the young husband she lost to the war. Despite their differences, the girls become fast friends.

When the Tuis are relocated to Italy, Addy and Margot are enchanted by the culture - from the stunning sights to the whirlwind of concerts and parties. But despite the exhilarating and romantic nature of being abroad in the company of soldiers, dark shadows loom.

And as their illusion of peace is shattered by a devastating attack, Margot and Addy will discover the true meaning of courage, sacrifice, and sisterhood amidst the brutal realities of war.
