Life in 1920s Liverpool for sisters Gloria and Betty Jenkins is secure and comfortable. As Chief Steward on the SS Amazonia, their father Harry is often away, but Sal is a capable, warm-hearted mother.
When Gloria finds romance with the boy next door, her interfering aunt offers her the opportunity of a lifetime. A trip to New York gives Gloria everything she desires – including a wealthy husband. Meanwhile, Betty also chooses a career at sea, leading to personal danger and great opportunities, especially in matters of the heart.
But with the Wall Street Crash of 1929 tragedy strikes and, through the trials ahead, the sisters come to value family bonds more than ever. Will they eventually achieve the happiness they desire?
