Description:A fragile peace has taken hold again in Northern Ireland in the wake of an aborted hunger strike, following the collapse of the political institutions and a renewed outbreak of violence. In the rapidly shifting political landscape a series of gruesome murders carried out by one hard-line splinter group, a loyalist faction known as the New Butchers, threatens the uneasy cessation. Circumstances throw together three men - former republican Pat Farland, barman Adam Conway and student Ally O'Loan - into confrontation with the New Butchers at the same time as they struggle with their own personal conflicts: Pat with escaping the consequences of his past and winning back Heather Lockhart, a former lover who has returned briefly from a new life in Australia; Adam with resolving his obsession with Chelsea Hynes, a former girlfriend taken to London by his cousin Enda and recruited into a lucrative career as a high class call girl; and Ally with losing a family member to a sinister sect whose worldwide influence is growing. The journey of the three leads them into a race against time for their own redemption against a backdrop of murder, deception, sex and crime.
