It is 1858. The Irish Famine has left a legacy of hatred, and Anglo-Irish relations are tense. Amidst the bitterness, Rosaleen Calatrava, herself cruelly touched by the tragedy of the times, dedicates herself to the Fenian Brotherhood and is willing to do anything to further The Cause - including using her stunning beauty to gain access to powerful men. However, into her life comes ex-police detective Colum Macrae and for the first time Rosaleen finds herself truly loved and valued. She embarks on a passionate affair but the reality of her and Colum's opposing positions is never far from her mind, and inevitably Rosaleen finds her loyalties divided as she is forced to choose between Colum and her beloved but dangerously unstable brother.
