The lives of the Cooper family are disrupted when the husband Teddy (Michael Ontkean) is called to service during WWII and is then taken prisoner by the Japanese. In need of money, wife Daisy (Rebecca Jenkins) joins a local swing band and begins charming all who watch her, especially the band's trombone player (Luke Reilly). A sweet-spirited tale of love, loyalty, and the search for inner strength. Jenkins gives a strong performance as the shy wife who becomes an independent woman during her husband's absence.
