“An ancient, intimate and dark connection exists between murder and politics.”
Reluctantly-married young Irish travellers Michael and Angela head north of the border at the behest of Angela’s father, to smuggle electrical equipment back to resell. Joining up with IRA man Clicky on the way, the ill-matched couple embark on an uneasy journey marked by blood and murder.
