An unlikely friendship develops between a kidnapped British soldier and his captor, an IRA volunteer named Fergus. When the hostage-taking ends up going horribly wrong, Fergus escapes and heads to London, where he seeks out and begins dating the soldier’s lover, a hairdresser named Dil, who knows nothing about Fergus’ IRA background. But there are some things about Dil that Fergus doesn’t know either.
