Our Girl

Molly Dawes is a feisty east London girl with a load of friends and a constant hangover from all the drinking she does. She works in a nail bar by day and clubs by night, but when she discovers that her unemployed dad has come up with a dodgy scheme.

Molly finds the discipline of army training a shock to her system. She can't understand why you're not meant to answer back if you don't like what you're being told. But gradually she finds purpose and fulfillment.

Molly arrives in Afghanistan and has to prove herself to her new platoon. Meanwhile, she is surprised to meet an old flame, Smurf, who is part of the regiment and who makes her life harder than it should be.

Molly strikes up a special friendship with a young Afghan girl. She has to learn that the army rules are there for a reason, and she cannot overstep the line emotionally and get too involved.

Molly returns home on rest and relaxation, to find that her life and perspective on the world has changed beyond measure since she has been away. Her family can see that they are growing apart.

As the platoon pack up and prepare to withdraw from the Afghan conflict, Molly finds herself at the centre of a surprising and emotionally charged love story between Captain James and Smurf both of whom declare their affections for her.

Aftermath. Molly returns home from Afghanistan to pick up the pieces of her life -and to attempt to find a new world with the man of her dreams. A surprise twist of events takes Molly to distant shores where surprising new adventures will await.
