Emotionally devastated by the death of his uncle, Boston carpenter Jack O'Toole (McIntyre) writes a play inspired by the man's wake. When nobody will produce the play, Jack quits his job to produce it himself, imagining that this play will give a new start to the strained relationship Jack has with his father. But the only stage Jack can afford is in the back room of a neighborhood pub. In this humble environment, Jack pulls together a theater company of sorts and brings his story to the stage, and in the process he brings together his family and friends and helps them move beyond their loss.

À Dublin, en 1911, dans l'Irlande occupée par les forces britanniques, John Cassidy travaille pour faire vivre sa mère et sa sœur. Animé par un désir de justice et de liberté pour son pays, il a aussi à cœur d'étudier, de lire, d'écrire, et de mettre sa plume au service de l'indépendance irlandaise. Il participe à des grèves et à des mouvements de protestation, écrit des tracts politiques. Pendant une manifestation, il rencontre Daisy Battles, une jolie danseuse qui devient sa maitresse. Mais, très vite, il l'abandonne pour Nora, vendeuse dans une librairie, qui comprend ses aspirations et l'encourage à écrire. L'échec de l'insurrection irlandaise de 1916, violemment réprimée par les Britanniques, ne le décourage pas. Une pièce de théâtre qu'il a écrite, La Charrue et les Étoiles, finit par être acceptée à l'Abbey Theatre de Dublin. La carrière d'un grand écrivain commence.
