A single mother who is also an IRA terrorist becomes an informant for British intelligence in order to protect her son in this thriller starring Clive Owen. From the director of Man on Wire.

"During an aborted bomb attempt in London, Collette (Andrea Riseborough) falls into the hands of an MI5 officer, Mac (Owen), who offers her a deal: turn informant or go to prison. Fearing for her son’s welfare, she returns to Belfast where - betraying family and beliefs - she becomes a reluctant mole for British intelligence. As suspicion of Collette mounts and Mac takes increasing risks to protect her, both feel the net closing in." (Sundance Film Festival)
