Dutton) comes to visit, the youngster wreaks havoc on the calm home Doaker shares with his widowed niece Berneice (Starletta Dupois) and Berneice's daughter Maretha (Jaye Skinner).

They know that the I.R.A. is deeply frustrated after nearly 20 years of fighting without achieving its main objective, British withdrawal. As the outrage shared by Catholics and Protestants alike over Enniskillen starts to fade, a new offensive could be in the works.
