Subject: Ireland 1953. Desmond Doyle is married with six children and living in the infamous Fatima Mansions in Dublin. His wife deserts him and Desmond's world falls apart when he is advised to put his children in the care of State Industrial schools as a temporary measure while he finds work in England. Upon his return, to his horror he finds that the children have been consigned to care until the age of sixteen. Told through the eyes of Evelyn, Desmond's nine year old daughter, this is the heartrending true story of one man's fight to change the law and reunite his family.
