Paper Moon meets the Blitz in this original dark-colored comedy, set in World Battle II England, chronicling an unlikely alliance between a small-time con musician and a orphan evacuee. When Noel Bostock - aged 10, no family - is evacuated from London to flee the Nazi bombardment, he lands in a suburb northwest of the city with Vera Sedge - a 36-year-old widow drowning in debt and dependents. Always in need of money, she's unethical about how she gets it. Noel's mourning his godmother, Mattie, a past suffragette. Smart beyond his years, lifted with a disdain for specialist and an eclectic attitude toward education, he has little in keeping with other children and even less with the impulsive Vee, who hurtles in one self-made crisis to the next. The war's provided unprecedented opportunities for making money, but what Vee needs - and what she's never really had - is a cool mind and the ability to make an idea. On her behalf own she's a disaster. With Noel she's a team. Together they prepare up a design. Crisscrossing the bombed suburbs of London, Vee starts off to make a revenue, and Noel begins to get back his interest in life. But there are plenty of other people earning money from the war - and some of these are dangerous. Noel may have been moved to protection, but he isn't actually safe by any means....
