Two voices speak from beyond death, each with a story to tell. In London, two broken people find salvation in each other's arms. Their love has pulled them back from the edge, given them reason to hope again. But when an impossible hurricane tears through the city, something evil awakens in the storm. Their second chance at happiness becomes a fight for survival against forces that should not exist. In Ireland, a dead IRA bomber watches his American ex-lover carry his ashes home to Iron Valley. She thinks she's making a simple journey from northern Indiana to rural Ireland, honoring his final wish. The townspeople have different ideas. They've been waiting for her arrival, and they have plans she cannot imagine. The bomber can only observe as the woman he once loved walks deeper into a trap he cannot warn her about.
