17th century Ireland... the most dangerous of times for Irish harpers.
Orla Connellan, a crofting woman, has her life changed forever when the brutal Oliver Cromwell and his English army land on the shores of Ireland. Exerting their might, the English endeavour to eradicate the culture of the Emerald Isle and dominate her people.
Widowed, fleeing for her life, Orla takes refuge on the rugged west coast, under the roof of her grandmother, Clodagh; a formidable woman who is blessed or cursed with the second sight. It is Clodagh, having seen Orla in a vision, that recasts Orla's life, charging her with the earnest duty of using the harp as an instrument in a bid to mend and meld a ravaged land.
But... Orla is not young and has never touched a harp before...
