As a young woman, Roseanne McNulty was one of the most beautiful girls in County Sligo, Ireland. Now, as her hundredth year draws near, she is a patient at Roscommon Regional Mental Hospital, and she decides to record the events of her life. As Roseanne revisits her past she learns that Roscommon Hospital will close in a few months and that her caregiver, Dr. Grene, has been asked to evaluate the patients and decide if they can return to society. As Dr. Grene researches her case he discovers a document written by a local priest that tells a very different story of Roseanne's life than what she recalls.
