The year is 1847 and Ireland is experiencing the worst year of the Great Famine. Martin Feeney (Frecheville), is serving in the British army as an Irish Ranger stationed in Afghanistan following the war. However, he abandons his post and sets off for home to be with his family. On his arrival in Ireland, Feeney is confronted with an unjust system in operation which has seen his country ravaged by famine with his mother been one of the many victims that has already starved to death, his brother has been hanged by an English judge, and forced evictions and dwelling demolitions have compelled the people to survive the harsh winter alone. His attempts to emigrate with his sister-in-law and her children to America fail and Feeney becomes desperate watching his family and fellow Irish people waste away. Eventually he snaps and vows to avenge the wrong his family and neighbours have endured at the hands of the corrupt officials, including landlords, rent collectors, police officers, army officers and judges, who have enforced the brutal British rule of law. In response, the hierarchy recruit Feeney’s old army comrade and friend Hannah (Weaving) to track down him and put a stop to his wrath. Hannanh is accompanied on his journey by Pope (Fox) who is an absurd snobbish British officer and by an young idealistic private Hobson (Keoghan). They are joined by Conneely (Rea) who is an Irish Language translator and is knowledgeable of the area. All tracks lead to Lord Kilmichael (Broadbent), an unscrupulous farming baron and landlord who views the famine as an opportunity to rid Ireland of its unproductive lazy peasants as tenants and has been sending his grain abroad to attain profit despite the many starving people at his gates.
