"One day, when I'm old enough, I'm going to marry you."
This is the vow David made to Cathleen when he was only a boy. Throughout their childhood their love grows stronger and now, in 1900, they start to plan a life together. But a bitter and envious woman is determined to ruin their happiness and uses David's father - a good and honest man - to do so, forcing him to make an impossible sacrifice. They all find themselves swept along to a place where there is no love or peace and no way back . . .
