It’s the summer of 1940 and the village of Great Paxford is caught up in the nightmare of the Battle of Britain. Two weeks after the defeat at Dunkirk, the German army is advancing through France and Britain is bracing itself for invasion. 　　Throughout the series the residents at the heart of this rural Cheshire community face their own personal challenges and conflicts as reputations are tarnished, loved ones lost, and shocking secrets are discovered. However it’s the war years and the women, under the auspices of the Great Paxford Women’s Institute, unite and discover inner resources that will change their lives forever whilst helping maintain the nation’s fabric in its darkest hour. 　　New characters and friendships will also emerge as exhausted and battle-hardened Czech soldiers arrive to set up camp just outside the village.

剧根据纪实小说《Jambusters》改编，讲述了一个真实的故事：在第二次世界大战期间，一群住在英国柴郡偏远地区的女人团结起来共度难关。当他们所在的社区失去与外界的联系后，他们必须调动一切资源来帮助这个社区。她们是当时战争后方的缩影。 来自《唐顿庄园》（Downton Abbey）的Samantha Bond和来自《Cranford》的Francesca Annis将主演这部六集历史剧，Mark Bonnar、Ruth Gemmell、Claire Rushbrook、Mark Bazeley、Frances Grey和Ed Stoppard参与演出。 标题「home fires」源自短语「keeping the home fires burning」，即料理家务，维持正常的生活。

World On Fire series two will take viewers from the streets of Britain into occupied France, Nazi Germany, and to the sands of the North African desert, where British troops struggle alongside Indian Sappers and Australian Diggers to adapt to a very different kind of combat.
