In 1929, the famous New York stockbroker William G. Wilson crashed with the market and became a hopeless drunk. Dr. Bob Smith was a surgeon from Ohio, who often went into the operating room with a hangover. When Bill W. and Dr. Bob met, they formed a friendship where each helped to keep the other sober. This is the story of that friendship, and how they went on to form Alcoholics Anonymous together.

In the town of Ballybeg in Ireland's county Donegel it is August 1936. This is a time of change for the 5 unwed Mundy sisters, the eight year old love-child, Michael, and the Mundy brother priest, Uncle Jack. As the autumnal fires celebrating the Harvest God, Lugh, bathe the high grass in golden light, and soft music floats from the radio, the sisters, with unfailing courage and sweet forgiveness dance in a wild, final celebration of their way of life before it changes forever.
