Brexit is about to become reality and certain people within the EU are determined to give Britain a very public telling off. Other European nations must be diverted away from following Britain. Special investigators are on their way to Northern Ireland. Their mission is to gather evidence of illegal state collusion between the British establishment and Loyalist paramilitary gangs that operated in The Six Counties during The Troubles. Agents of the state, tasked with covering the tracks of their political masters, are gathering their assets and putting in place schemes to thwart the investigation. A small group of Army officers, facing the prospect of being prosecuted for Human rights violations, come up with a treasonous plan to protect themselves. While serving a life sentence after being convicted of multiple murders, ex- IRA man and notorious killer Francis Mc Carron became disillusioned with the Republican ideals that had, years before, driven him to commit ferocious acts of aggression. In the fight to free their country from foreign occupiers, he and his comrades had bombed and shot people on both sides of the sectarian divide. Twenty years ago, he was released early from prison as part of the Good Friday Agreement. Since then, he has been living a quiet life, determined to stay away from the violence and mayhem that defined his former existence. But, he has attracted the attention of people operating on the dark side of society, they want to make use of his skills. To these agents, Francis is a tool to be used and then discarded. Trapping him in a situation to coerce him into cooperating, they instead force him to revert to his old ways. Cunning and ruthless, Francis will fight to survive. With Government agencies working against him and his hastily assembled team, he finds himself forced to place his life in the hands of people he previously spent years trying to murder. And together, they become caught up in a race to get to Europe where they can hand over a dossier of damning information in exchange for immunity from prosecution. On the scales of justice, the international reputation of a proud Nation and the personal freedom of some of its most senior politicians is being balanced against the lives and liberty of a ragtag band of reformed killers and semi-retired British army officers.
