For the soldiers' women in Sydney, life takes on a brittle gaiety as their husbands and lovers leave for the war and transient American and Australian soldiers take their place en route to battle stations. Under the shadow of war, Ida, Rosa, Fay and Patricia are determined to join the fun of the brittle gaiety which sweeps the city - racketeers and brothel-keepers flourish, young girls become soldiers' molls, wives betray their absent husbands. It was a time of living in the moment and taking all that was offered - it was life in the raw; seduction, drunken orgies, rape and murder swirl around a core of sanity, normalcy and decency.
