The bulk of the narrative concerns young Colin, an orphan whose father died a nasty and violent death in the Troubles. With little stability at home, Colin pines for a sense of belonging and takes up with a bunch of hooligans who get their kicks joyriding in stolen cars. Eventually, Colin is arrested - which practically forces him to play the role of IRA informant and racks him with guilt over a sense of betraying his late father. It could also easily spell death for him if the IRA discovers what he's done. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
