Two young boys living in an institution are caught in crossfire at
the outset of the Irish rebellion - one boy is protected by a
British soldier, while his friend is used as a human shield. Each
will escape the institution, face the pain of emigration, and
become a fugitive from justice while trying to build a new life.
One will cross the Irish Sea to join the British army, twice; the
other joins the Republicans, crosses the Atlantic and tries to
settle in America. Throughout all this, they remain friends. Will
they find the courage to follow their dreams despite one setback
after another? Each will travel the globe in different ways before
both their lives entwine around a troubled family in a remote
corner of northern England - how does an ordinary working man raise
six daughters while taking care of his increasingly crazy wife? And
as a world war rages around them, who will survive amidst the chaos
of Dunkirk and the battle of the Atlantic? After the war, when the
survivors meet amidst crisis and tragedy, one of the daughters must
now choose between her close-knit family and the man she truly
loves...This is a tale of two Irish 'children of independence' as
they come of age and face one crisis after another; and of the
people they meet and come to love. The struggles and the resilience
of ordinary people in the era between and during the wars forms a
backdrop for an action packed and very unusual story - much of
which is based on real events.
