August/September 1939 War threatens the quiet life of Sir Charles and Lady Elizabeth in their statley home, The Hall. The IRA and Hitler Youth arrive on Tyneside at the same time. Coincidence? At The Hall Sir Charles woos rich Americans- if war breaks out will America help? Marigold Striker, one of the Americans, is the eyes and ears of President Roosevelt, a glamorous blue-stocking who it pays not to cross. Jack, aJewish refugee and George, Sir Charles and Lady Elizabeth's nephew, two 12 year olds caught up in the ensuing mayhem, culminating in a siege at Gray's Monument, Newcastle.
