On January 30, 1972, elite troops of the British Army's Parachute Regiment killed 14 unarmed civilians in Derry, Northern Ireland. That Bloody Sunday set forth what became known as the Troubles. The beginning of decades of sectarian violence with ethnic Irish Catholics suffering oppression by a partisan British loyalist regional government.

Terence Kelly, born in Belfast lived his life in Boston hearing stories of his legendary IRA grandfather that fought with Michael Collins in the Irish War of Independence 50 years earlier. Liam Kelly now lived in Derry but never retired from the cause of Irish nationalism.

Terence travels to Northern Ireland where he is drawn into this latest Irish rebellion alongside his grandfather. A disastrous sequence of events that will forever alter his life.
