When a controversial US diplomat is attacked during the opening of a Donegal gold mine, Inspector Benedict Devlin is disciplined for the lapse in security.

Within days, the killing of an illegal immigrant near the Irish border leads Devlin to a vicious European people-smuggling ring. Then Bradley himself is found dead near the mine and Devlin begins to suspect that the business is a front for something far more sinister...
