A web of secrets can risk lives When Hetty's family move to
Martin Street near Portobello bridge in Dublin, they're not sure of
their welcome. And next door, Ben's family are not sure about their
new Jewish neighbours: it's The Emergency and they are suspicious of
strangers. But for Ben, the chance to earn a few pence is too great
and secretly he does odd jobs for them. And there's a bigger secret:
Renata, a World War Two refugee, is on the run in the city. Hetty is
determined to rescue her. The web of secrets begins to unravel and
there are lives at risk. Can Hetty and Ben overcome their differences
and save Renata, or are they just meddling in things they know too
little about?
