Based in the shipyards of Leith, Silver Linings follows the ups and
downs of the Anderson family through the darkest days of the Second
World War as they struggle to survive. When war breaks out in 1939
the Anderson family ready themselves for the worst, but nothing can
prepare them for the death of matriarch Sandra while giving birth
to surprise baby Rosebud. Promising her mother that she will take
care of her newborn sister, pampered fifteen-year-old Kitty must
abandon her dreams of a career to become the family drudge. And
Sandra's heartbroken husband, Johnny, swears never to remarry and
instead finds solace in his work, becoming a respected trade union
activist in the shipyards. Yet with the help of Johnny's
domineering mother Jenny and spinster sister Kate, the family find
the strength to carry on. And when life throws new opportunities at
them, Kitty and Johnny are sorely tempted to pursue happiness where
they can find it. But can they live with the guilt of breaking the
solemn promises they made to Sandra on her deathbed?
