Nel 1940, mentre la Seconda guerra mondiale devasta l'Europa, Frankie Bard, una giovane reporter americana, decide di raccontare il conflitto dalle onde radio, portando la realtà della guerra nelle case degli statunitensi. A Franklin, nel Massachusetts, Iris ed Emma seguono le sue trasmissioni. Iris, una donna eccentrica e sognatrice, dirige l'ufficio postale e si sente custode delle vite altrui, convinta che la corrispondenza intrecci i destini delle persone. Emma, giovane sposa del medico del paese, desidera un futuro sereno con bambini e affetti, ma quando il marito, sopraffatto dal dolore per la morte di una paziente, parte come volontario per Londra, lei attende con ansia sue notizie. In un’Europa lacerata dalle persecuzioni naziste e bombardamenti, e in un’America ancora al riparo dal conflitto, le lettere diventano il filo che lega le vite di queste tre donne, segnando in modo indelebile i loro destini.
