Plot summary
The play is set in New York in 1972, where young fireman Michael Doyle decides to join the IRA to live up to his Irish heritage. Costello, the "Big Fellah" recruits Michael, wanting to use his apartment in The Bronx as a safe house for an escaped killer. As the play continues, it is clear that someone in their circle is leaking information and can not be trusted.
