Synopsis
'Downton Abbey' from the servants' point of view! Another fascinating chapter in the life of Swallowcliffe Hall, a grand old English country house. It's 1914, and World War One is about to change the lives of the aristocratic Vye family and their servants for ever. The war brings tragedy in its wake but also new opportunities for Grace, Polly's daughter and a reluctant kitchenmaid. As most of the young male servants leave Swallowcliffe to fight in France, trainloads of wounded soldiers begin to arrive at the Hall in their place to convalesce. Grace begins to realize the terrible effect the war is having and worries desperately about her beloved brother Tom, away at the Front. Nobody is safe, not even Lord and Lady Vye, making their way back from America aboard the ill-fated liner Lusitania. And then Grace finds herself falling in love - with the wrong person. Can she ever escape from the servants' hall, or is the old order as strong as ever?
