Synopsis

[edit]

In late Victorian England Kathleen is a young Irish woman in love with an American, Kenneth Wayne. The romance, however, is opposed by her adopted father John Carteret, who recalls the painful memory of his tragically thwarted love for Kathleen's aunt, Moonyean Clare many years before.
