My Mother and Other Strangers follows the fortunes of a rural family,
the Coynes, and their neighbours in the village of Moybeg on the shores
of Lough Neagh in County Tyrone, as they struggle to maintain a normal
life after a huge USAAF airfield with 4,000 service men and women –
complete with a handsome and charming liaison officer, Captain Dreyfuss -
lands smack-dab in the middle of their parish in 1943.
