A massive surveillance operation into IRA intelligence gathering has led police to the home of a political party administrator. They recover material they believe to have been stolen from government offices, but some of the intelligence is missing. Their efforts to find those missing items turns the covert operation into a full-blown political scandal that threatens the future of Stormont’s shaky coalition.
