England 1940- Britain has just entered into war against Germany. Four teenagers meet on a random evening in a rural English countryside town and spend one memorable evening together. "I was always told that the stars are brightest here” one of them says to the others. Soon after that evening they enter the arena of war, one in the army, one in the navy, one as a nurse and one as a factory worker. Their lives are constantly in danger, they face numerous challenges throughout the world and never know if they are facing their last day on earth. Whenever they get a chance they all look up at the stars and hope that one day they will guide them back home
