Part thriller, part mystery, part impossible deceptions---an Irish woman's supernatural gift becomes the obsession of a vicious assassin. Accused of murdering her husband, Mary Elizabeth O'Malley is imprisoned for two decades while her kidnapper waits for his father to die so he can inherit his fortune and find the woman he believes will help him control a vast criminal empire. Back in Ireland, her nine sons grow up intent on discovering the truth behind their father's murder and mother's disappearance.
