More DescriptionThe story of the Kerrigan family empire begins in Ireland in 1847 when the innocence of James Kerrigan, a young husband and father, is challenged when his wife and two young daughters become fatalities during the potato famine - which was known as the Great Hunger or the Great Famine. The Kerrigan homestead, which was built by his grandfather, is burned to the ground by the Landlord's rent collectors because he was unable to pay the overdue rent, a common plight in Ireland during the great famine. James now has nothing left to lose and seeking revenge for the death of his family is what keeps him going.
James could have never imagined what would be in his future, as he and his traveling companion Sean would brutally avenge his family's death before boarding a ship bound for North America, where James becomes a partner in a gold mining operation during the California Gold Rush. It would be those mining efforts and his close relationship with his partner that will provide James with the financial support to create and grow what would eventually become one of the most successful industrial powers in the twentieth century.
The story of the Kerrigan dynasty touches upon five generations of Kerrigan descendants spanning one hundred fifty years, and the many challenges they each encounter on their way to building a multi-billion dollar global empire.
But what John Kerrigan, the current-day CEO of the Kerrigan Corporation in 1997, was forced to confront was a betrayal that no one could have ever anticipated.
