In Baile Beag, an Irish-speaking community in County Donegal, a detachment of the Royal Engineers engaged on behalf of the British Army and government are making the first Ordinance Survey. Lieutenant Yolland falls in love with Maire, a peasant girl, and with Ireland -- but things don't remain idyllic for long. Set in 1833.
