During WWII women went to work to help support the war effort. Five women in particular became the Bomb Girls of Company B, building the weapons that helped America win the war. Each woman has her own story to tell, both at work and at home, their loves, hopes and desires. Meet the southern belle Merle Bouchet whose husband is in the Navy. Merle assuages her loneliness through one-night stands with soldiers on leave. A professional violinist, Nancy Chen continues to love her ex-husband, David, their separation due to religious and cultural differences. Even with the news that David has been shot down over the Pacific, Nancy still believes he’s alive and waiting to reunite with her. The married woman of the group, Frances Farber tries to hide her former life as the movie star Fancine Kendall. A torrid affair with her director ended both her dreams about love and a promising career. The youngest of the Bomb Girls, Bobbie Jo Nealy yearns for true romance and the opportunity to lose her virginity. Unfortunately, she’s rudely awakened by the violent nature of her boyfriend and the fact he may be working for mob bosses. Dorothy Woodall, a former librarian, has run away from an affair with a married man she met on a cruise, but still can’t get him out of her mind. Now a senator, Mack McCabe wants to renew their friendship, and a desperate Dorothy buys a gun in order to end the relationship for good. Love, sex, lust, betrayal and attempted murder – the Bomb Girls of Company B do more than just build bombs!
