The time is a twenty-year period of history between 1914 and 1934,
and is the story of a young man caught between two worlds and two
generations. This is exemplified in the "Old World," represented by
his country of Ireland, amidst the turmoil of a World War, and the
civil conflicts within; and a "New World," with America as its
symbol of newness and change. "The War To End All Wars" marked the
end of the traditional ways of life for an older generation in
Europe, and created the beginnings of a new, free, more open
society across the Atlantic. This new emerging generation was
reflected in an America which opened its shores to those who
brought with them the ambition and optimism to overcome all
obstacles. We follow Michael Philbin from boyhood to young manhood,
as he flees the violence and tragedy of his country to seek a
future in an unknown land which may enable him to fulfill his
destiny. The tale of Michael Philbin and his quest represents the
bridge between those two generations. Yet the best of both eras
will eventually forge a unique blend of people, tempered by the
horrors of war, and hardened by the onslaught of an economic
depression. This is a story about one of that generation.
