SHATTERED LIVES - Eric starts Grammar School ... and enters a whole new world, where his social status and relative poverty mark him out as a target for the richer boys. Closer to home, he unwittingly alienates his next-door neighbour Jennifer, and his best pal, Douglas. Meanwhile, star-struck Elaine ponders a stint with E.N.S.A., the Entertainments National Service Association. And Roger, whose heart murmur has rendered him unfit for active service, reaches a decision that isn't only life-changing ... but could cost him that very life, if it all goes wrong ...
HEAD OVER HEELS - Love is in the air as young Eric Grantley finally begins to understand his true feelings for next-door neighbour Jennifer Blakely. Meanwhile, Eric's sister, Elaine, meets Glenn Huston, an American serving in a British tank regiment. But the air-raids continue to take a frightening toll on the civilian population, and relationships can be cut short all too easily ...
ALL CHANGE - It's now 1941, and the world has been at war for more than two long years. With no sign of an end to hostilities, the Grantleys do their best to live their lives from day to day, but it's not easy. Despite the best efforts of his doctors, patriarch Carl continues to waste away in hospital, while eldest son Roger risks his life on a daily basis to defuse the unexploded bombs that litter the streets of London after every German air raid. For star struck Elaine there's an E.N.S.A. tour of Wales to prepare for. As for young Eric ... his life has become a constant round of "All change!" What with one thing and another, he seems to have lost everything. The one constant in his life is Jennifer, his next-door neighbour, who is rapidly becoming the love of his life. But in such uncertain times, who's to know just how long anything good will last?
BUTTERFLY ON THE WALL - The tide of war is slowly but surely turning, and there's a feeling of cautious optimism in the air. But it may be too late for Roger Grantley. Working in bomb disposal, seeing his friends and colleagues dying on an almost daily basis, has frayed his nerves almost beyond repair. There is one silver lining, however - his sister Elaine's engagement to American soldier Glenn Huston. Romance is also in the air for young Eric and the girl of his dreams, his lifelong friend Jennifer Blakely. But the war is far from over, and in such uncertain times, there are still plenty of opportunities for things to go horribly, horribly wrong ...
