Belfast, Northern Ireland—2004.

When gangsters steal the controversial papers, they leave a trail of death. Shannon, who once trained as an IRA sniper, vows revenge.

Leaving home for America, she recruits Simon Magister, thirty-four, a nerdy literature professor at an evangelical college. Against his Christian convictions, Simon is drawn in by scholarly curiosity and a repressed attraction to Shannon. Together, they are thrust into a deadly race to retrieve the coveted Belfast Document, which Shannon believes will lead to the killer. It is not known if any living person has read it.

Amidst many dangers, Shannon and Simon get entangled in a violent conflict between opposing evangelical groups, both eager to possess the document's content and power.
