Ireland, 1846. The potatoes have failed again.
In the cabins along the Kilbrack coast, the Cafferkey family are doing what everyone is doing that winter: rationing what little they have, praying for a better harvest, and watching their neighbours leave for the ships one by one. Kate holds the family together. Her husband, John, keeps a small sum hidden in the thatch. Their eldest son dreams of America.
Then a quiet stranger named Lorcan Deane arrives with a cart of cornmeal and a kind word for everyone. He sits with the sick when nobody else will. He prays with the grieving. He tells the hungry that God has not forgotten them. In a place that has lost almost everything, people begin to listen, and soon they begin to follow.
