ALL ARE EQUAL IN LOVE AND WAR...

Christmas 1913: Kitty and Lady Partita are best friends despite vastly different backgrounds. Partita has invited her friend, Kitty, to stay at her ancestral home, Borders Castle.

The grandeur of Partita's family seat is in stark contrast to Kitty's home in London where she and her mother, Violet, struggle to maintain appearances despite Kitty's father gambling away the family money.

Kitty is introduced to the aristocracy - a fascinating, decorative and theatrical world - and is enthralled, desperately wanting to be part of this way of life.

But war breaks out, not only irrevocably changing society, but also the lives of these two beautiful young women. The headstrong Partita and down-to-earth Kitty become nurses and selflessly care for the men horrifically injured in the trenches of WWI.

Will world events put a strain on their friendship, or will the strength of their bond shine through?
