Ireland''s hopes for freedom are dashed with the arrival of a deadly potato blight that strikes terror in the heart of its people.

Dr Dan Donovan is Medical Officer to the Skibbereen Union. The arrival of ''The Hunger'' soon brings starving men, women and children crowding into the town and the workhouse, desperate for assistance.
