1847. Bellyclaven, Ireland. A terrible famine has ravaged the land. That means there\u2019s hardly any food to eat. 18-year-old Jonathan Flynn is struggling to stay alive after losing his parents and baby sister in the course of a single fateful night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is already bad, but Jonathan\u2019s pride and youthful temper make him a dangerous enemy in his ruthless landlord, Lord Cavanaugh, who wouldn\u2019t rest until he sends the young lad to gallows. Waiting to board a ship to Boston, America, Jonathan finds a temporary hideaway in the infamous Scartagg workhouse, only to realize that the sinister warden of the workhouse is just one of the many villains fate has thrown his way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan\u2019s dream of escaping to America becomes a horrendous journey of never ending physical and mental torture. It\u2019s his will to survive and a burning desire for vengeance that keeps Jonathan alive. And revenge is a dish best served cold\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than a century later, when old secrets surface, threatening to unravel Flynn family\u2019s present, Rory O\u2019Flynn must decide if he should let sleeping dogs lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
