Devin: A rock star with a political conscience. At the height of his career,
he appears to have everything--money, fame, respect from his peers. Yet, the
people closest to him know Devin O'Keefe is a man haunted by a painful past
growing up in Northern Ireland. Everyone he has loved, he has lost, either
by a bullet, betrayal or the sheer drudgery of life in Derry's Bogside
ghetto. Devin's life is his career. There is no room for love...until he
meets Fonda.
Fonda: An American photo-journalist commissioned to do a pictorial on
Devin's U.S. tour. Although a child of America's heartland, Fonda is no
stranger to violence. A sniper's bullet has taken the life of her twin
brother just weeks after Fonda's two-year romance with a Swedish editor
crumbles. Devastated by her loss and hardened by life's cold reality, Fonda
has thrown herself into her career at Spotlight Magazine with a
single-minded intensity. But when Devin enters her life and slowly allows
her glimpses of the real Devin beneath the rock-star hype, she discovers
that idealism is not dead...that there is hope in a world full of cynicism.
Two worlds collide when Devin and Fonda meet, setting off an explosion
filled with passion, intrigue and danger as forces from Devin's Republican
past converge to thwart his new-found happiness. Will he be forced to give
up his career to protect the woman he loves from the evils of his past? Or
will the violence of Northern Ireland's troubles destroy their love for each
other--and perhaps their very lives?
