Colette is an IRA activist. Mac works for the British intelligence, his job is to recruit spies inside the terrorist structures. When she gets arrested during a failed terrorist attempt in the London metro, he gives her a choice: she can co-operate and return home, or she will never see her son again.

From now on she will fear her own shadow.
