Wrongly convicted of a crime, young Michael O'Connor is torn from his new wife and infant son to serve a brutal sentence in the harshest penal colony on earth. Sent from rural Ireland to the terrors of Van Deiman's Land in Australia, Michael survives the unimaginable brutality only to find there is a plot to murder him. Forced to escape he plans his return to Ireland and revenge on the man who imprisoned him. What he doesn't realize is that he is returning at the height of The Great Hunger - know ever since to the Irish as "The Famine".
