BASED ON A TRUE STORYIn Ireland in the second half of the twentieth century, a corrupt circle of politicians and shadowy business figures control the levers of power. Lucrative property deals involving the sale of government assets are secretly financed by middle-eastern oil dollars in exchange for Irish passports. Political donations are rewarded with access to offshore bank accounts as the ordinary people are forced to tighten their belts. At the heart of this web of deceit and intrigue is the Taoiseach, the Irish prime minister, a man who has seized control and who allows nothing to stand in the way of his hold on power – or his voracious lifestyle. Based on a true story, this is a top-notch political thriller, which shows modern Ireland as never before.
