With the potato famine devastating her homeland in Ireland, Mary Driscoll must leave her parents to seek out a better life in America.
Mary finds work in a mill, where working conditions are dreadful. Although her new friends encourage her to join the union, Mary hesitates to speak out for fear of losing her job.
When her dear friend, Sean, is falsely accused of murder, Mary must decide if she is ready to face her fears and sacrifice everything to save him.
