Plot:
Lonely, widowed diplomat Henry Stanfield, anxious to repair the rift with daughter Emma, is appointed the truth commissioner by the British prime minister and sent to Northern Ireland, a principal task being to determine the fate of Connor Roche, a youngster who disappeared 20 years earlier, presumed killed by the I.R.A. as an informer. The chief suspect, Michael Madden, is now living in America but Connor's sister Maria and mother welcome Henry's investigation as they believe there was a cover-up. He immediately spars with the chief constable and detects that his assistant Laura has had dinner with Jake Marston, who is a spy. Official witnesses are not always immediately helpful, including former Sinn Fein member, now politician Francis Gilroy and retired RUC chief James Fenton. To Henry, uncovering the truth is paramount, but so is his effort to reconcile with his daughter.
