Set against the backdrop of 1936 London, the story follows Alan, who finds himself in the midst of impending war and family pressures. Evacuated to the seaside town of Paignton during the Blitz, he discovers that the challenges of living in an air raid shelter are preferable to enduring the strict expectations of his elderly grandparents in their Victorian home. The narrative explores themes of safety, familial relationships, and the innocence of childhood amidst the chaos of war.
