Island at War takes place on the fictional Channel Island of St. Gregory and follows the lives of three families who try to adapt to the occupation in various ways. James Dorr, senator of the island, works hard to make the occupation as painless as possible for the islanders, while his wife Felicity worries about their son Philip. Cassie Mahy looses her husband in the German attack on the island and therefore logically enters the war with a deep hatred against every German. She tries to keep her grocery store running while watching her young daughters Angelique and June struggling with how to behave towards the many young German soldiers. Wilf Jonas is a policeman who is forced to work for the Germans. His wife Kathleen works hard at their farm and tries to keep her son and mother-in-law safe.
