Synopsis: Danny Flynn is finally out of jail. He's spent the last fourteen years of his life behind bars in a Belfast high security prison for his involvement in IRA activities. Now that he's free, he's more than determined to stay out of trouble, and move far away from the violent, bloody lifestyle he led as part of his political past. He goes back to his home town, and sets about quietly restoring his life. He opens a gym to train boxers like he himself did as a youth, avoids making political or sectarian ties of any kind. He also makes a lot of progress on the personal front, reuniting with the woman he loved before being incarcerated. But when you have a past as intense as his, it doesn't leave you alone so easily. It isn't long before he's put in a position where he's forced to re-engage in political activities despite themselves, and everything he's recently worked for is put at risk.
