The
autumn of 1846 in the West of Ireland, locals were dying
from hunger. The potato crop had failed and that was the
main staple of the Irish diet. The British land owners
took the rest of the crops for payment on the land
rental. Lorraine's family is doing OK but they worry
when the latest crop fails. Lorraine is befriended
by the landowner's daughter who tries to find a way to
help. Miss Susannah can't be seen being friends with an
Irish girl so she can't help as much as she might
want. But will her good intentions be enough to
save the tenants as they face starvation and disease?
