Synopsis:

A woman and her husband set their sights on a better life in a new nation: Canada. Jim
and Johanna Donelly settle themselves in Lucan, upon the Roman Line, where trouble
quickly settles as well. After some unfortunate run-ins with their neighbours, and an
eventual drunken brawl, Jim becomes a murderer, marring the family’s already dark
reputation. During his imprisonment, Johanna raises strong boys and a strong girl. The
clan is tough and ruthless. For good and for bad, they have the attention of Biddulph
township. Through knuckles, curses and fire, the Donnelly family attempt to reap
respect and carve promise from their new home. On their path, they find things more
dire.
