On a cold night in February, 1880, five members of the Donnelly family were brutally murdered by their neighbours, near London, Ontario. There were two eyewitnesses to the massacre and two trials followed, but there were no convictions. This compelling documentary probes the historical and social issues that bore down on the community: Irish history and culture, the penal laws, secret societies, potato famines and abject poverty that caused millions of Irish to emigrate to all corners of the globe.
