A team from the International League for Civil Liberties is conducting an investigation into the abuse of civil rights in Northern Ireland when Paul, a member of the group, “driving through a Police roadblock” is shot dead. He was on his way to a mysterious rendez-vous.
Senior British Policeman, Peter Kerrigan, investigates the killing with the help of Ingrid, Paul’s girlfriend. They discover Paul’s death is tied up with a plot, documented on a tape he had in his possession when he was a shot.
While searching for it, Kerrigan discovers corruption at the highest levels and reconsiders his work as well as his own personal responsibility.
