A mutilated body is discovered on a quiet beach outside Youghal. Within hours, another corpse turns up on a street in Cork City — different scene, same savagery. At first, there’s no connection. Then the pattern emerges: both men were outspoken activists, standing on opposite ends of a widening political divide.
Sergeant Carrie Ashe and her team trace the evidence from sand to city asphalt and into a shadowy digital world of private channels, coded language, anonymous meet-ups, and online figures who turn grievance into gospel. What looks like ideological hatred begins to feel engineered.
The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: this isn’t random violence. It’s orchestration.
As tensions rise and public anger threatens to ignite, evidence shifts, witnesses fall silent, and pressure mounts from unexpected quarters. Someone powerful wants this contained — or redirected. Carrie is closing in on a puppeteer who doesn’t need a weapon — just the right message, delivered at the right time.
And the next move will be explosive.
