"Unerbittlich führt der radikale Arm der IRA seinen Krieg gegen Großbritannien. Mit zunehmend harten Bandagen wird gekämpft, auch vor Bombenanschlägen gegen unschuldige Zivilisten wird nicht mehr zurückgeschreckt. Nachdem ihr Bruder von britischen Sicherheitskräften getötet wurde, hat sich auch Colette dem Kampf gegen die Besatzer angeschlossen. Selbst als sie Mutter wird, ist sie immer noch in vorderster Front mit dabei. Doch dann wird sie erwischt, als sie eine Bombe in der Londoner U-Bahn platzieren will. Jetzt steht sie vor der Wahl: Entweder sie verrät ihre Familie und ihre Freunde. Oder sie wandert ins Gefängnis und wird ihren Sohn nie wieder sehen."
