Set at a remote beachfront cottage in the Hamptons one summer during the Second World War, A World Away follows the fortunes of the Langer family, whose oldest son, Rennie, is missing in action in the Pacific theater. As we are soon aware, there is another battle raging at the same time, this one on the domestic front, as Anne and James Langer's marriage begins to unravel. In part to repay her husband for his affair with a student, Anne begins a clandestine romance with a soldier stationed at a nearby base. Yet all the passion and tenderness she finds with her lover is unable to ease Anne's empty ache from having her family torn apart.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: -4px 0px 0px; color: rgb(15, 17, 17);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" style=\"\" face=\"Georgia\"\u003eThousands of miles away, Rennie is wounded in the effort to drive the Japanese from the island of Attu in the Aleutians, as Dorothy, his young wife, gives birth alone in San Diego.
