Mary is a beautiful Irish rose. In the late 1840s, her starving family had been forced to cross the Irish Sea to Cornwall in search of work. She never forgot the hatred she harboured against the English gentry for lives lost and destroyed in the Irish potato famine.
Mary leaves her impoverished family for a better life. A one-off, passionate affair with a hot-blooded Irishman throws her life into turmoil, and she climbs from the depths of poverty to the estate of Lord Albert Rothchild. After mothering five children, questions start to emerge and jealousy begins to surface. A spoilt son harbours contemptuous feelings towards his siblings, leading to tragedy.
Will the Irish passion in Mary's heart overrule the greed of the English gentry?
