Belfast, 1980s: IRA volunteer Colette McVeigh is caught in an operation by British secret services and faces little option but to become an informer or she will never see her son again. Reluctantly attending secret meetings with her handler, she begins passing secret information across about her own brothers, both volunteers in the IRA. And Colette is being watched by her brother Gerry. If she makes one false move, they will kill her. If it isn't the British who take her away from her son, it could be her own family. Show less
