They come from disparate backgrounds- Jamie a wealthy industrialist whose life is like an imperfect but many faceted jewel- brilliant, flawed and with a glitter that is designed to distract the observer.
Casey- a card carrying member of the Irish Republican Army, who must
face the fact that five years away has left him a stranger, a misfit
in his own neighbourhood where not everyone is sympathetic to a
convicted rebel. Pamela- who has come to Ireland in search of a memory
and a man who may not have existed in the first place.
Through it all runs the ribbon of a love story; love of country, the
beginning love of two people unable to resist the pull of each another
regardless of the cost to themselves and those around them and the
selfless love of one man who no longer believes himself capable of
such emotion.
Ultimately this is the story of Ireland herself, of how nation is
bound to one's identity, woven into the weft of all we become. And
whether, finally, freedom and peace can walk down the same road, hand
in hand.
