In the giddy fog of a forbidden courtship and the safety of the campus bubble, the world's troubles seem far away. Until they aren't. German tanks roll through Europe, while Japan attacks Pearl Harbor. There's no safe place left to hide.

Compelled to do their part, young people enlist in record numbers. Will and his friends join the queue. But instead of a bus headed to basic training, Will is thrust into the world of shadows and secrets.
