Synopsis

In the turbulent era of the early 1970s, Lucy Ryan—gifted violinist, rebellious daughter, accidental hippy—sets out on a journey that will test every limit she knows.

After a devastating motorcycle accident leaves her with one leg, Lucy is determined not to be defined by her disability. She joins her free-spirited boyfriend on the iconic “Hippy Trail” to India, seeking freedom, healing, and meaning. Along the way, she encounters a whirlwind of experiences—from ancient mysticism and spiritual awakenings to the harsh realities of addiction, grief, and betrayal.

As Lucy navigates continents and cultures—from Europe through the Middle East to India and on to Australia—she also journeys inward, confronting hidden fears, a haunting secret, and a world that doesn't always understand her. Alongside her travels, she meets Brian Patterson, a quiet, kind-hearted doctor wrestling with his own deeply personal truth. Their bond grows as each of them searches for belonging, self-acceptance, and love.

Spanning Ireland, England, India, and Australia, One Foot to the East is a powerful and deeply human story of transformation, resilience, and the enduring spirit of a woman determined to live life on her own terms.
