In the Land of Saints and Sinners

In 1974, during the Troubles, four members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army -the fanatical Doireann and the three men in her squad: Conan, Séamus and Curtis (Doireann's younger brother and the least disciplined of the lot) - carry out a bombing in Belfast that kills six people, including three children. The four then come to the Irish coastal town of Glencolmcille, County Donegal, to lie low since Doireann had been identified to the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) because she had gotten out of the car to try to shoo the children away from the front of the pub that was bombed. In Glencolmcille, Curtis stays with Sinéad, the widowed keeper of the local pub who is his sister-in-law, and her young daughter Moya, and the rest stay in a ramshackle shack.
