Description: 
Driven by a deep sense of duty and a love for his counry, Damien abandons his burgeoning career as a doctor and joins his brother Teddy in a dangerous and violent fight for freedom. As the Irish 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 once fought side by side find themselves pitted against one another as sworn enemies, putting their loyalties to the ultimate test.
