Car bombs shatter a neighbourhood in Ottawa. With Canada about to host a G8 Conference, the Prime Minster knows he must react fast. He orders Lt. Col. Ian Munro, a senior agent in CSIS and a reserve army officer, to locate and neutralize the perpetrators.
Munro forms a small, secretive unit. They soon uncover an international conspiracy: Irish Republican Army dissidents have linked up with a rogue Special Forces unit. Both seek vengeance and political power.
Worried about a resurgence of the IRA, especially a splinter group led by a firebrand called the Hag, Britain sends an MI6 officer to Canada. Complicating Munro’s mission, the spy from the Secret Intelligence Service is a former lover. To add to his troubles, an enemy appears from his past, determined to destroy him.
