In 1985, 100 million pounds of gold bullion disappeared in a hijacking off the coast of England. However, the boat that carried the hijackers and the booty is believed to have sunk in an unexpected storm. Ten years later, the U.S president receives word that the bullion may be financing an Irish civil war. With the British prime minister, he hires Dillon, a British Intelligence Agent and ex-IRA enforcer, to find the money and the dangerous minds that control it.
