In this sweeping and powerful epic the voyage begins in the "terrible beauty" of North Ireland throughout a time when issue reigns and no-one is spared from tragedy and sorrow, the time known as The Troubles. It's the springtime of 1968 in Belfast and James Kirkpatrick has just lost his daddy under suspicious circumstances, Casey Riordan is released from prison after five years and Pamela O'Flaherty has crossed an sea and an eternity of memories to get the man she fell in love with as a little young lady. All three lives are on the collision course with one another against the background of the burgeoning civil protection under the law motion and a country on the brink of revolution. They come from disparate backgrounds - Jamie a prosperous aristocrat whose life is like an imperfect but multi-faceted jewel-brilliant, flawed and with a glitter that was created to distract the observer. Casey, a card-carrying member of the Irish Republican Army, who must face the fact that five years away has remaining him a stranger, a misfit in his own neighborhood where not everyone is sympathetic to a convicted rebel. Pamela, that has come to Ireland in search of a memory space and a man who may well not have existed in the first place. Through everything runs the ribbon of an love story: love of country, the beginning love of two people unable to avoid the take of one another regardless of the cost to themselves and those around them, and the selfless love of 1 man who no more believes himself capable of such emotion. It is an electrifying story of an people divided by faith and politics, a tale of love and risk, of triumph and tragedy. Eventually it is the story of that "terrible beauty" herself - Ireland - and how nation is bound to one's personal information, woven into the weft of most we become.
