Three women: Dodo, Val, and Charley, orphaned at birth, are bound by a unique friendship spanning two continents, and two world wars.
Dodo, ""born to Bohemia"", always lived by her own rules until an unknown enemy turns her world upside down; Val, beautiful, wanton and the toast of Paris, cannot forget the uncertain circumstances of her birth; and Charley, the outsider, who finds fulfilment the hard way as she struggles to become an artist.
