Plot summary
Gerry and Liam Fallon are brothers serving in the Provisional Irish Republican Army in Northern Ireland. The peace process divides them: Gerry wants to keep to his principles, while Liam sets no limits for himself and forms a splinter group. Liam then begins a campaign of killing aimed at bringing the talks down, and a retired CIA agent named Hall is brought in to stop him. To reach Liam, Hall needs the one man who knows him: Gerry, imprisoned for a bombing and held responsible for the death of Hall's sister. Mary Fagan Bailey gives her support as Hall presses Gerry to turn on his brother.
