Ian Padraic Murphy harbors a scandalous secret.
To avenge the death of his best friend in a Belfast raid, Ian joined the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) and kept this a secret for 30 years.
When he meets investigative reporter Eileen Donohue, their friendship blossoms into a love affair. Eileen inadvertently discovers the man she thought was a reclusive novelist is actually the brain trust for the IRA.
