Story for Defender of the Faith
An intense explosive thriller set in 1980s Northern Ireland. Five years after the celebrated 1981 hunger strikes and in the midst of the paranoia surrounding informers in the Irish Republican movement, a family faces a turning point.
Some "operations" have been compromised and a beloved farm hand is suspected of being an informer. A sinister IRA investigator is brought in to sniff out the traitor, and his inquiries begin to gnaw away the edges of familial loyalty. A heart stopping, chilling theatrical experience.
