Description

Dive into the poignant tale of the Macdermots of Ballycloran, a story centered around the tragic downfall of a once-prominent landowning family. Larry Macdermot struggles to maintain his familys crumbling mansion in Co. Leitrim, unable to keep up with the mortgage owed to the unyielding Joe Flannelly. Tensions rise between the Macdermot and Flannelly families, especially after Larrys son, Thady, refuses to marry Joes daughter, Sally. Meanwhile, the familys daughter, Feemy, finds herself entangled in a scandalous affair with the despised English police officer, Captain Myles Ussher.
