Frontline is the story of an aristocrat's daughter who joins the war effort as a nurse. In a field hospital in rural France, she meets Will, a dockworker's son serving as a stretcher-bearer. As rumours of an armistice begin to circulate, so, too, does a mysterious respiratory illness that soldiers are referring to as the 'Spanish flu'.

Others seek refuge in more earthly and bohemian pleasures. But as young parents and practising medics, they have—more than anything—duties of care and compassion that cannot be ignored.
