After his fiancée's death at a bombing of an Irish-Saudi festival, Majid plots with Islamic fundamentalists to show Ireland exactly what they think of its role in the US "war on terror".
Meanwhile Irish teenager Shona finds herself pregnant after a drunken party, and an overheard conversation about her past leaves her wallowing in self-pity and ripe for falling into the wrong hands.It is followed by Scarred (2015):
Rory McGee is obsessed with bringing the man who murdered his girlfriend to justice.
Ex-IRA activist Fergal O'Gorman, now a politician, is accused of murder on live TV during the elections, causing a media frenzy. Rory's quest to expose the truth threatens to destroy the family he fought so hard to rebuild.
