KEYNOTE: Is it possible to fall in love with the man who killed your family? It is eighteen years since Danni's husband and three-year-old son were killed by an IRA bomb in central Glasgow, and still she can't move on from the tragedy that has blighted her life. As a fresh wave of violence sweeps through Ireland, she decides she needs revenge. A journey into the dark heart of the criminal underworld brings her face to face with the sinister Pearson and his enigmatic, one-time accomplice Johnny. As Danni struggles to keep hold of her sense of purpose in a world where the idealist and the psychopath sometimes seem indistinguishable, she is unwillingly drawn into a battle to save the life of Myra, a young prostitute.
