Irlande, hiver 1847. Après avoir passé des années à combattre dans le monde entier pour l'armée anglaise, le ranger Martin Feeney la déserte pour enfin retourner dans son pays afin de retrouver ses proches. Pourtant, dès son arrivée, il découvre une terre de désolation, ravagée et détruite par la famine, la misère et la maladie. Alors que la plupart des habitants sont renvoyés de chez eux par les percepteurs anglais, les forçant à errer sur les routes, Feeney apprend notamment le décès de sa mère survenu un an plus tôt, emportée par une fièvre mortelle, mais également la pendaison de son frère, condamné à mort après avoir volé de la nourriture et le départ prochain de sa belle-sœur et de ses enfants pour les Amériques. Impuissant face au règne des nouveaux et richissimes propriétaires, qui ont instauré un nouvel impôt local beaucoup trop élevé pour la population chassée de chez eux, Feeney décide de reprendre les armes afin de venger sa famille et faire lui-même justice, du juge au gouverneur de la régions tous corrompus.

Prior to America's entrance into World War I, a group of young Americans go to France, for different personal reasons, to fight in the French Air Service, L'Aéronautique militaire. One of them, Blaine Rawlings, faced with the foreclosure of his family ranch in Texas, decides to enlist after seeing a newsreel of aerial combat in France. Dilettante Briggs Lowry joins because of his overbearing father. African-American boxer Eugene Skinner, who had been accepted as an athlete in France, was motivated to "pay back" his adopted country. Beagle, a notorious thief, burglar and mugger, evades capture due to a tip off about his arrest and leaves America for France, believing that even criminals are forgiven if he registers in the French Army. Porter, a former Church pastor suffering dwindling churchgoers, decides to enlist to become a chaplain, and Jamie, frustrated by American neutrality, decides to join the war. These American recruits are under the command of French Captain Georges Thenault, while the veteran fighter ace Reed Cassidy, a fellow American, a womanizer, drunkard and traumatized ace pilot, takes over as their mentor.

The movie is set around a small group of characters experiencing relationships which build and crumble before the viewers eyes. The title of the film refers to the belief, expressed by several of characters, that the goldfish retains a memory of something for only three seconds. Tom, one of the principal characters in the film, draws comparisons between this and the human tendency to jump from one relationship to the next, "forgetting" the pain that any previous one might have caused. The film shows complexities involved in straight, gay, lesbian, and bisexual relationships. Writer/director Liz Gill says the film was influenced by the work of directors Robert Altman and Richard Linklater, particularly Linklater's film Slacker.
