It is the 1930s and when her beloved husband, john, suddenly dies, young ellie hogan decides to leave ireland and return to new york. She hopes that the city's vibrancy will distract her from her grief. But the depression has rendered the city unrecognizable-gone is the energy and party atmosphere that ellie once fell in love with, ten years before. and while she is used to rural poverty back home in ireland, the suffering she sees in new york is an entirely different proposition.
