‘He has my mother! Sean Flannery has my mother!’

Garda Bridget ‘Bridge’ Harney’s phone bleeps with a message. A video of Sean Flannery - a violent criminal - at her mother’s nursing home. His hand on her mother’s shoulder. Goaded to the point of madness, Bridge gives chase but Flannery disappears.

A huge drugs seizure - the kind that means the cartels are exporting directly to Ireland - is abandoned in Kilkenny. In a high-tech processing plant a dead woman is found.

Bridge believes all three events are linked. As she begins to examine the connections, she comes up against the Fuentes cartel. An organisation with billions of dollars at its disposal, a transport empire and informers everywhere.
