Two young women come of age in New Orleans, eager to throw off the Depression. For a brief moment in 1939, the world appears to be their oyster. Claire is beautiful; Myra is brainy. But when Pearl Harbor jolts the country, men rush to enlist, women flood the work force, and the two friends scramble to find purpose.

Myra takes up a civilian post at a military camp. Claire is snapped up by Naval Intelligence to track U-boats in the Gulf. Meanwhile, Myra’s childhood chum Frederick ships out to Europe; Claire’s presumed intended, Richard, reports for duty in the Pacific.
