After nights of bombing, it's decided that they'll join the over 800,000 children who've already been evacuated during Operation Pied Piper. They board a train not knowing where they're going or who will take them in. The long, crowded train ride is less than pleasant. Thankfully they make two allies, Sam and Molly.

As they adjust to all the changes, they find the people of Leek aren't so accepting to all the evacuees. Sam's host is dark and abusive. As the girls help plan his escape, they discover this sleepy little community holds a dark secret...
