An IRA volunteer becomes an informer to protect her son. Starring Clive Owen.

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.
