On January 1, 1943, the new camp offers the internees an unexpectedly luxurious environment compared to their previous conditions, but they soon discover that such comforts come at a cost.

Shortly after their arrival, Christina is forcibly separated from her friends and taken to a different camp. Meanwhile, Marion reconnects with an old schoolmate, Lillian Cartland, and her young son, Bobby.
