Synopsis
It is the age of the Bomb, the Cold War, Margaret Thatcher and North Sea Oil. As Nationalism becomes a credible force in Scotland, a gay photographer, a feminist journalist, a disillusioned war veteran and a guilt-ridden Conservative MP find their private lives entangled with the ideological conflicts of the times. In the shadows behind these stories is that of Peter Bond, an alcoholic intelligence officer lured into a clandestine war against extreme nationalism.
Through the interweaving lives of these characters, a portrait emerges of a country of unfulfilled dreams, personal compromises and hidden agendas. When a nation's freedom and independence are at stake, how do men and women come to terms with their own shifting identities?
