Intriguing tale of a group of IRA kidnappers and the British soldier they nab and want to exchange for 
one of their own.

==========

An unlikely kind of friendship develops between Fergus, an Irish Republican Army volunteer, and Jody, a 
kidnapped British soldier lured into an IRA trap by Jude, another IRA member. When the hostage-taking ends 
up going horribly wrong, Fergus escapes and heads to London, where he seeks out Jody's lover, a hairdresser 
named Dil. Fergus adopts the name "Jimmy" and gets a job as a day laborer. He also starts seeing Dil, who 
knows nothing about Fergus' IRA background. But there are some things about Dil that Fergus doesn't know, 
either.
