Set against the backdrop of World War II, the story follows Dorothy and her fellow Black WACs in the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only unit of its kind serving overseas. Facing the challenges of a segregated military, these women from diverse backgrounds come together to tackle the daunting task of processing over 17 million pieces of mail for GIs. Their journey from boot camp to England reveals the stark contrasts in living conditions and the resilience required to overcome unexpected hardships and cultural shocks in a male-dominated environment.
