Two arrivals in the fishing village of Corrymore unleash a devastating chain of events for people caught up in the turbulence of the Irish Civil War and its aftermath. One is the return of Father Padraig whose mission to "save the souls" of the pagan fisherman Finn MacLir and his daughter Caitlin drives a wedge between father and daughter, threatens the relationship between Caitlin and her pious sister Nora, and awakens a frightful jealousy in the honest but hot-blooded farmer, Michael Carrick, whom Caitlin is about to marry.The second arrival is that of the brutal British auxiliary forces known as the "Black and Tans" who come looking for Caitlin's brother-in-law, the fanatical Republican Flynn Casey. Their raid on Corrymore, about which the villagers had warned Casey and to avoid which they had begged him to leave, has consequences that reverberate throughout the village and drive Casey to seek a terrible revenge.Irish rebels, British soldiers, informers and spies, invading the lives of decent citizens, turn the once peaceful country into the unquiet land of revolutionary Ireland.
