An involuntary assignment for the British Secret Service turns into a suicide mission for Michael Forsythe. The terrorist cell he has infiltrated turns out to be a group of sadistic killers. The best way to get out of this situation is to strike back. The second best is a quick death. Five years in the witness protection program is a damn long time. Five years of isolation, a false identity, and constant surveillance. Michael Forsythe desperately needs a change of scenery. However, what was supposed to be a relaxing beach vacation ends up caught between rival football fans and ultimately in prison. A British agent gives Michael a choice: ten years in a Mexican hellhole or become an undercover agent in a splinter group of the IRA. Michael finds the decision easy to make. He manages to penetrate the inner circle of the gang. But the mission is far from over.
