It was the early 1980s in Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland. Sean Duffy was recruited in MI6 to track down the IRA master bomber by the name of Dermot McCann.
McCann was lucky enough to make a very daring escape from the Maze prison. Sean during his investigations found that a woman probably having knowledge of the whereabouts of McCann was looking for justice for her own daughter, who died a mysterious death. She died in a pub, which was locked from inside.
Sean was ascertain that if he can solve the locked room mystery, then the bigger mystery about the whereabouts of McCann would automatically be solved as a reward.
