Synopsis/Details
SAS Captain Dan Palmer is assigned to protect British government minister William Anderson when he attends community peace talks in Troubles-era Belfast. Frustrated at his organisation’s apparent lack of action, young IRA member Johnny O’Hanlon carries out an audacious kidnap of Anderson.
Palmer is forced into the Belfast underworld to recover Anderson, but when local IRA commander Owen Donnelly hears of O’Hanlon’s unauthorised actions, O'Hanlon finds a price on his own head. A race against time then begins as O'Hanlon finds himself the quarry, and it becomes unclear who is the hunter and the hunted in this tense cat-and-mouse action thriller.
