A girl’s defiant choice unlocks the way to the rescue of her family. A firefighter immobilized by guilt and grief seeks solace and meaning where little can be found. A father and son, united by music and far from their Irish homeland, glimpse on the horizon the land of their longing. It is only their lives they must leave behind.

These stories, and that of a passionate crusader in the war against breast cancer, have been brought to the screen by Maureen Foley.
