| Cal is a Catholic teenager growing up in a predominantly Protestant neighborhood in Ulster. Though he and his family have felt the persecution of the Orangemen, Cal cannot stand the violent tactics of the IRA. He is tortured by the memory of driving a getaway car after his friend murdered a Protestant, but will be labelled a traitor if he bows out of his role in the IRA. Cal's bind is complicated by his burgeoning love for the widow of the man his friend murdered. | ||
