|  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.
