It's time to choose: friendship, family or loyalty to the cause.
When Emer Davey saves her neighbour Jack Madigan from drowning, it
seems that they will be friends forever. But eight months later,
they find themselves on opposite sides in a life-or-death struggle,
as Dublin is torn apart by the Easter Rising. Emer's father is an
officer in the Irish Volunteers who believes that armed rebellion
is the only way to gain independence from Britain. His daughter has
inherited his passion and is determined to help the rebels in any
way she can. Jack's dad is a sergeant in the Dublin Metropolitan
Police. They share a deep respect for the law and are sure that
Home Rule can be achieved through peaceful politics and helping
with the war effort. These two young friends find their loyalties
challenged as the terrifying reality of war sets in - and the
Rising hits closer to home than either could have imagined.
