A country starving. A family torn apart. A girl who refuses to break.\u003cbr\u003eWhen famine tightens its grip on the valley of Glenary, young \u003cb\u003eNiamh O'Murch�\u003c\/b\u003e watches her world collapse. Hunger steals the crops. Sickness steals the weak. And the Crown steals what little hope remains. After her father is arrested for stealing a loaf of bread to save his dying son, Niamh flees into the frozen woods with her little brother Padraig, only to face the one place every Irish soul fears: \u003cb\u003eHawthorne House.\u003c\/b\u003e A workhouse whispered about in dread. A place where families vanish. A place where children do not return whole. Inside its stone walls, Niamh is stripped of her name, her language, and her freedom. \"\u003ci\u003eYou are no longer daughters, wives, sisters, or mothers... you are inmates\u003c\/i\u003e,\" the Matron declares . Forced into brutal labour, watched by guards who feed on fear, and haunted by the Master's cold gaze, Niamh clings to the only thing the Workhouse cannot take: her promise to find Padraig. Across the valley, her father Sean fights his own battle in chains, vowing to tear the world apart to reach his children again. \"\u003ci\u003eAs long as I was alive, I would fight my way back to them\u003c\/i\u003e,\" he swears from his cell.
