The Gallagher family prepares to sit down

        to its traditional Irish supper in late 1922

when a series of unexpected guests

        pound at their door in mounting desperation,

seeking refuge from the violence erupting

        just down the road.

After the Anglo-Irish War of Independence ends

        with a highly contested Treaty, late in 1921,

and the Irish Civil War looms only a few months ahead,

        a nationalist middle-class Catholic family in northern Ireland

tries to co-exist peaceably amidst the mounting struggle

        between the free-state Irish Republicans of the South

who refuse to accept the Ulster Partition,

        and the Irish Loyalists of the North

who will fight to the death

        to remain under British rule and protection.
