A morality tale of xenophobia religious prejudice mob violence poverty and their effect on two children in Liverpool during the Depression. When a shipyard closes Liam and Teresa's dad loses his job. Liam who's about 8 making his first Holy Communion gets a regular dose of fire and brimstone at church. Teresa about 13 has a job as a maid to the Jewish family that owns the closed shipyard. The lady of that house is having an affair and Teresa becomes an accomplice. Liam stutters terribly especially when troubled. Dad comes under the sway of the Fascists who blame cheap Irish labor and Jewish owners. A Molotov cocktail brings things to a head.
