Seamus and Liam Quinn, brothers, are enlisted members in the Irish Republican Army. They execute a mission to explode a bank involved in illegally repossessing homes from Catholic landowners. Murphy, the leader of the Ulster Volunteer Force, retaliates for this bold move and murders Seamus, sadistically, in presence of his family. Gavin, the youngest of the Quinn brothers, wrestles with his morality as he now enlists in the IRA to avenge the death of his brother. Will this set things right? Fiona, now widowed, holds onto her silent rage in this perverse world which seems sarcastically normal to those in it. The Quinn brothers now cultivate a plan for retribution as the violence escalates uncontrollably. Jack, a politician from the Crown who placed Murphy in power now must confront the realization that his collusion with the Ulsters is a mistake. Murphy's psychotic strategy intensifies but-who gives the orders? is it even reality...? He seeks control by imprisoning and beating victims indiscriminately. One of them, Gavin gets locked up in the securest prison, the Maze. Jack has a moral dilemma after discovering that Murphy is a serial killer. Now he must decide how best to cover up this political disaster and most importantly to conceal his involvement. His plan is to hide the truth behind an IRA assassination so he helps Gavin escape to take out the trash. Murphy's number is up but he is not going easily. First things first, the path leads to Murphy and he must be dealt with. The boys execute their plan to move on the Cross and take out this vile man. It is a military base and not the kind of place any man should be except the best tool-an angry Irish woman-Fiona who has dreamt of revenge. Now she gets the chance to exact the same abuse that has ripped her family apart. If they survive the scars that remain will be visible for their entire lives. In the end, one thing rings true: violence begets violence and the only way to stop the fighting, is simply to END IT.
