In the turbulent times of post-WWI Prohibition-rich Canada, Liesse Delaurent is on a mission to provide her handicapped son with the best life she can give him, even if it means fighting doctors and priests and pushing her family to its limits. Whiskey-production has made the family rich so they can afford to have a handsome teacher come to homeschool the boy. Romance flares but discord and disaster follow. Liesse finds herself having to choose between two special men. How will she decide? She has awakened to an ambition, to save her family and become head of their Whiskey Company. She has the courage and drive to do it! But will either man support her in a role considered outrageously unacceptable for a woman of her time?
