John has led a solitary life for 30 years since the death of Moonyean Clare. But now Owens, a close friend, insists that he care for his niece, Kathleen, orphaned when her parents were lost at sea. Kathleen is five, but the years pass and now she is a young woman who is the image of Moonyean. Willie wants Kathleen for his wife, but sparks fly when she meets Kenneth Wayne one dark and stormy night. John is horrified, for it was Waynes father who shot Moonyean dead on her wedding day and John has never found him or forgiven the family. When Ken goes off to war, John forbids any marriage and Ken agrees, while Kathleen does not. When Ken returns four years later when the war is over, he is crippled. He conceals his condition and makes plans to leave for America.
1915. Elderly Sir John Carteret believed his life had long been over following the death of his one true love, Moonyean Clare, when they were standing at the altar in 1868, that is until Moonyeans niece Kathleen, the daughter of Moonyeans sister, entered his life. Sir John assumed custody of Kathleen when she was approaching five years old following the death of her own parents. Kathleen, now a young woman in the spitting image of her long deceased aunt who she never knew, is the apple of Sir Johns eye. Being courted by stiff Willie Ainley, Kathleen instead falls in love with American Kenneth Wayne, who is in Britain en route to France to fight in the war. Sir John does not support Kathleen and Kenneths love and want to get married as Kenneths father, Jeremy Wayne, whom Kenneth never really knew as his father died when Kenneth was a child, was the direct cause of Moonyeans death. As much as she wants to abide by her uncles wishes, Kathleen cannot deny her continued love for Kenneth. Beyond these circumstances, what happens between Kathleen and Kenneth is affected by the war. The question becomes what factor eternal love plays, especially in what happens in this human world as opposed to the afterworld.
