This follow up to the Rebellion miniseries unfolds at the height of what became known as Ireland's War of Independence, and follows the lives of those caught up in the vicissitudes of history.
As the conflict between the British government and the revolutionary Dáil rages, personal connections cloud allegiances for participants on both sides.
At the height of the War of Independence, Michael Collins’ squad member Jimmy Mahon is given an intelligence role while Ursula Sweeney, a code-breaker with British intelligence at Dublin Castle, contemplates treason.
General Winter targets Sinn Féin’s propaganda machine and their finances, while Jimmy puts pressure on Ursula to feed him information.
Jimmy breaks Joey out of prison, and helps Ursula to be reunited with her son. Eithne's outrage at Diarmuid's death is ignored, and Maurice faces an impossible choice.
General Winter suspects Lily of being a spy, and Ursula must try to help her without implicating herself. Robbie plans to kill Eithne, but is stopped by an unexpected opportunity.
In the aftermath of the multiple attacks on General Winter’s spy ring, the British close ranks. There’s a price on Ursula’s head and Jimmy finally confronts the mole inside Collins’ Squad. General Winter commissions Major Mills to take men to Croke Park.
