Belfast, 1971: children playing in the rubble of a bombed‐out home, the funeral of a young man, bitter women blowing celebration whistles after the shooting of a British soldier, a young boy and girl discussing their knowledge of guerrilla weapons, young people in a pub singing boozily sentimental songs about past wars and victories, a housewife staggering out of her home after having been hit in the face by a soldier's stray rubber bullet.

During the 1940s, a group of young men go off to war, leaving behind Ethel Ann, who is in love with one of them, Teddy. In modern-day Belfast, a man named Jimmy endeavors to return a ring found in the wreckage of a crashed plane. He travels to Michigan, where the grown Ethel Ann, who married another man after Teddy was killed in battle, now lives. Ethel Ann must decide whether to go with Jimmy to meet the soldier who last saw Teddy alive.
