Two women on very different paths.
Lovers separated by the Iron Curtain.
A chance meeting that will change everything.
Maria's life story is based on a lie. When she washed up on Sweden's shores in 1944 with no memory, she was forced to create her own history. In Scotland, nearly half a century later, she still has no idea who she really is.
But she's about to find out.
Angie knows exactly who she is: orphan, drug addict, prostitute. A waste of space. Her life is spiralling out of control, but people like her don't get second chances, do they?
Estonian freedom fighter Jaak has spent decades wondering what happened to his fiancée, Maarja, when she fled the Soviet invasion of their country. He's always refused to believe she is dead.
Could two women in Edinburgh provide the answer to what happened to Maarja?
When Maria's and Angie's worlds collide in a cancer care centre, neither can predict the profound effect it will have on both their lives, and that of a man thousands of miles away.
This unlikely and unexpected friendship turns out to be life-changing and leads them all on the ultimate journey of self-discovery, but do they have the strength to cope with what they uncover?
