REBELLION begins with the outbreak of World War I. As expectations of a short and glorious campaign are dashed, social stability is eroded, and Irish national spirit comes to the fore. The tumultuous events
that follow are seen through the eyes of three young women and their families, lovers and friends from Belfast, Dublin and London as they
play vital and conflicting roles in the narrative of Ireland’s independence. Some prioritize family loyalties; some are motivated by 
the noblest of ideals, some by opportunism; others take up arms, prepared to sacrifice everything for the dream of a better society and true independence.
