Based on a true story, this is the dramatic tale of a marriage in 1950s Ireland between Sean Cloney, a Catholic, and Sheila Kelly, a Protestant. The local priest insists that their eldest daughter attend the town's Catholic school. The ensuing disagreement sees Sheila, feeling betrayed, secretly fleeing with her two young daughters to Scotland. Soon the social fabric of the village unravels as Sean, and eventually the entire country, is forced to take sides in what becomes an international controversy.
