'God save all here.' Summer, 1847. People are getting used to the
corpses lying by the road and along the ditches. For John Mitchel -
lawyer, journalist, activist, politician - the word 'famine' will
forever conjure the hollowed faces of Ireland's dead, the liquid
Gaelic of the past now mute on their tongues. Propelled by disgust
at the injustice, Mitchel will do all he can to fight for the
destitute, the starved, the forgotten. His odyssey will take him
all the way to America - that land of promise - but it will draw
him into a terrible paradox, blurring the lines that divide
liberation from dispossession and forcing him to ask: can one act
of devastating cruelty and oppression prevent another?
