Where The Heart Is

Frankie George has never had an easy life. She is a social outcast with a mysterious past who hides her beauty by dressing in men's trousers with her hair twisted up under a shabby hat. She is responsible for two troublesome younger sisters but the only work she can find is doing jobs no one else wants.
It is 1916, the middle of the First World War, and the Heart's Content cable station in Newfoundland is the only communications link to Europe. It is discovered that information about the movements of British and American convoys is leaking to the enemy from the cable station. An American, Linton Colt-Lodge, arrives to mastermind the search for a spy and he keeps crossing paths with Frankie. He soon thinks she could be the spy they are searching for - a beautiful and tempting spy. To keep a watch on Frankie, Linton invites Frankie to train to become one of the first female cable operators at the station.
