Set in post-WW I Ireland, the aristocratic Quinton Family is shocked into the real world from their sheltered economic and political travails when one of their workers is ritualistically murdered. This is but one more bloody chapter in the ongoing struggle between the IRA and the British Army. Previously noncommittal, the Quintons are thrust into the middle of the struggle. After a deadly confrontation in which most of his loved ones are killed, young Willie Quinton (Ian Glen "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider," "Resident Evil: Extinction") vows revenge. He briefly forgets his new purpose in life during a romantic liaison with his cousin Marianne (Academy Award and Golden Globe-nominee Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio "The Color of Money," "Scarface"), but a renewed cycle of tragedy galvanizes Willie into disastrous action. It is difficult to sort out the heroes and villains in this crime drama; it is a certainty, however, that the true victims are the innocent.

Alcoholic book editor from a bargain-basement publishing house in Great Britain, "Barley" Scott Blair (Sean Connery), would rather be drinking in Lisbon than attending a book dealers' show in Russia. To his surprise his boozy holiday ends early when CIA agent (Mac McDonald) pays him a visit. It seems that through a book show intermediary the CIA has received a package from Russian book editor Katya (Michelle Pfeiffer) that contains remarkably detailed notebooks written by a cynical Russian physicist named "Dante" (Klaus-Maria Brandauer). The notebooks illustrate the jocularity of Russia's nuclear threat: Russian rockets "suck instead of blow...and can't hit Nevada on a clear day," in the harsh words of CIA Agent Russell Sheridan (Roy Scheider). Unsure of Dante’s motives in sending the notebooks to Blair and questionable about the end of the nuclear arms race the British Secret Service decides to send Blair to new Russia to meet Katya. His objectives: to assess new Russia's involvements in the old Cold War and to verify the authenticity of the notebooks.
