Tonypandy, South Wales, 1911, starving miners fight soldiers and police on the picket lines for the right to earn a wage that will clothe and feed their families, while Irish labourers are brought in to take their jobs for half their pay. Handsome 'Big' Tom Kelly, an Irish worker, believes he has found a future worth living when he falls in love with Amy Watkins, the daughter of a strike leader, but under cover of night, the Welsh miners search out the Irish men, drag them from their beds, beat them and hang them from the street lamp posts. Can Amy and Tom keep their love a secret? All they want is to be together. But in a world full of hatred, anger and violence, their dream seems impossible. Until a stranger steps in and offers them a way out.
