World-renowned artist Dame Laura Knight is in her 60s when the War Office commissions her to paint portraits of 'bomb girls', women who worked in munitions factories in WWII. She's sent back to her hometown of Nottingham and at first she relishes the opportunity for a nostalgia trip, but when she starts work on a portrait of two particular women (Violet Smith, and her co-worker Zelah Pascoe), memories begin to resurface that she has spent half a lifetime trying to forget.
