Ralph de Bricassart from 1920 to 1962, this two-part miniseries begins in 1943.

- Ten years after Ralph and Meggie's heavenly union in the sun-drenched Matlock Island, Father Ralph de Bricassart finds himself in war-ravaged Rome, rescuing Italian refugees at the height of World War II. After all this time, Ralph reunites with Meggie at the vast sheep station, Drogheda, only to come face-to-face with a new reality, and a deep crisis: Luke O'Neill is bent on taking custody of Meggie's cherished son, Dane. Always torn between his endless love of God and an ardent passion for the unattainable, Father de Bricassart must make up his mind. Under those circumstances, the burden of choice is insufferable.
