À la suite de l'explosion massive du 6 décembre 1917, Charlotte raconte au fil des pages de son journal personnel, sa quête pour retrouver Duncan, son frère jumeau, à travers les rues dévastées d'Halifax. Il est sa seule famille depuis que son frère aîné a été tué en France, pendant la Première Guerre mondiale.
Following the massive Halifax explosion of December 6, 1917, Charlotte writes in her diary of her search through the devastated city to find her twin brother Duncan after the rest of her family — except for her older brother, who is fighting in France in WWI — is killed.
