| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Ireland 1920: workers from field and country unite to form
volunteer guerrilla armies to face the ruthless 'Black and
Tan' squads that are being shipped from Britain to block Ireland's
bid for independence.
Driven by a deep sense of duty and a love for his country,
Damien abandons his burgeoning career as a doctor and joins
his brother, Teddy, in a dangerous and violent fight for freedom.
As the freedom fighters' bold tactics bring the British to
breaking point, both sides finally agree to a treaty to end
the bloodshed. But despite the apparent victory, civil war
erupts and families who fought side by side find themselves
pitted against one another as sworn enemies, putting their
loyalties to the ultimate test.
