A security breach. A top-secret surveillance operation. A government collapsed. The exposure and death of a spy.

Four people are arrested when police swoop to break up what they claim is a republican spying network operating at the heart of Northern Ireland’s volatile government. A convoluted legal process ends with an outcome nobody sees coming.
