Set in County Cork, Ireland, in 1920, the drama unfolds at Danielstown, the home of Anglo-Irish aristocrats Sir Richard Naylor and his wife, Lady Myra. As the war for Irish independence escalates around them, Sir Richard's nineteen-year-old niece, Lois, struggles with her longings for love and the yearning for freedom. She is being courted by a British Army captain who is deeply in love with her. But when she discovers an old childhood friend who is now an Irish freedom fighter hiding out on their estate, she becomes fascinated by the rebel he has become.

Rated R: for some violence and sexuality.
