Danny Flynn (Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln) is a boxer with a lot of baggage. Having served 14 years of prison for associating with IRA terrorists, he returns to his Belfast neighbourhood to begin life anew. It is a time of considerable change, as local IRA leader Joe Hamill (Brian Cox,Braveheart) attempts to negotiate a peace treaty with the British. As Danny channels his purpose into a neighbourhood boxing gym he is reunited with former girlfriend Maggie (Emily Watson, Hilary and Jackie). But as Danny’s fortunes shift favourably, he soon becomes caught in a cross-fire of violence and deceit that will truly rock his world. (Umbrella Entertainment)
