Jody, een Britse soldaat, wordt gegijzeld door de IRA. Ze sluiten hem op en gebruiken hem als chantagemiddel voor het inwilligen van hun eisen aan de Britse regering. Tussen Jody en de bewaker Fergus ontstaat, tot groot ongenoegen van de andere terroristen, een vreemde vriendschap. Na een dramatisch en gewelddadig einde van de gijzeling, waarbij Jody omkomt, deserteert Fergus uit de IRA. Hij duikt onder en besluit om Jody's laatste wens uit te voeren. Hij zoekt Jody's vriendin Dil op en voor hij het weet raakt hij in de ban van deze verleidelijke vrouw.
