Plot

Frankie McGuire, one of the IRA's deadliest assassins, draws an American family into the crossfire of terrorism. But when he is sent to the U.S. to buy weapons, Frankie is housed with the family of Tom O'Meara, a New York cop who knows nothing about Frankie's real identity. Their surprising friendship, and Tom's growing suspicions, forces Frankie to choose between the promise of peace or a lifetime of murder.

After a bloody shootout with the British Army, young IRA underground fighter Rory manages to escape. On behalf of the IRA, he enters the U.S. under a false name. A middleman arranges for him to stay with the family of unsuspecting cop Tom O'Meara. Tom does his best to help Rory make a fresh start far from home. But Rory secretly continues his political struggle on American soil. Rory is tasked with purchasing a shipment of Stinger missiles for the IRA on the black market. In his attempt to secure the funds for this major deal, he inevitably drags the police officer and his family into a deadly guerrilla war that claims bloody victims on both sides.
