Description
The defining mission of Mai Fisher's career as a spy for the United Nations Intelligence Directorate occurred in the mid-1980s when she went undercover in the IRA, a mission she almost didn't survive. A bomb she made to destroy an illicit shipment of plastic explosive went off too soon. Nine IRA members died, most as they slept, a burden she carried the rest of her active career.
Then, a retired British soldier has a secret he needs to get off his chest before he dies, and the telling of it send Mai on a trip through her sketchy memory of that mission and its aftermath: Her struggle to recover, her return to full status, minor glitches in subsequent missions, the false courage she got from cocaine, her capture by the East German Stasi, and when she told her partner - and husband - she fell in love while pretending to be in the IRA.
Once the soldier reveals the truth, Mai realizes that burden, which had defined her for all those years, wasn't hers alone.
