Synopsis

Retired PSNI cop Tom ‘Tucker’ Rodgers has a cracked ballpoint pen, one second class stamp and no time left. The best he can do is try to get a message to DI Owen Sheen.

Sheen and Aoife’s search places them on the path of the most highly placed IRA double agent of the Troubles as well as another man with an old score to settle…
