When Dennis Murphy corrects the bad manners of a loudmouth at his girlfriend’s house party, he has no idea of the chain of events he has set in motion. Tom O’Brien, an underworld associate of the corrected guest, goes after Murphy to dole out retribution. Murphy does the unthinkable by resisting the crime lord’s plans. So now he has made a formidable enemy, and compromised his own existence in the city of Dublin. On the run and in danger of being caught by the enraged gangster, Murphy agrees to use his driving skills in an armed robbery, on the promise that it will appease his pursuer. The heist takes place successfully and Murphy believes he’s earned his redemption. There is, however, dishonour among thieves, and Murphy finds he has only dug himself deeper into a hole. But Dennis Murphy is nothing if not resourceful, and with courage, initiative, and great ingenuity, decides to fight his corner and challenge the people and the ways that threaten his very life. What follows is one of the best full-on, helter-skelter, flat-out action thrillers to come out of the Emerald Isle.
