A country in rebellion. A rebel without a country.

After the surrender at Appomattox, Confederate Colonel Clay Fitzgerald escapes to Ireland, where his grandfather has left him an estate. But Ireland is caught in a civil war of its own....

Taking the guise of a legendary night-riding outlaw, he joins the fight against the landlords--and wages a rebellion of his own....
