Mary and Charlie meet as they take shelter in a barn from a gathering thunderstorm. As their relationship begins to blossom, World War I interferes and Charlie heads off to war with the Canadian Cavalry Division. While Charlie's dream of glorious warfare is shattered by the reality of day-to-day life in the trenches, Mary is left to hang on to the bits of information she gets from Charlie's letters. She dreams of the day he makes it home from war and they can be married. As the war drags on, Mary hopes that her dreams will be enough to keep Charlie alive in her heart until their wedding day.
