Året er 1971. Gary er en ung, britisk rekrut, der sammen med sin deling træner med henblik på en kommende udstationering i Vesttyskland. Meget overraskende sendes de imidlertid til Nordirland, hvor de havner midt i en smeltedigel i forsøget på at løse en kritisk situation forårsaget af en optrapning af IRA's terrorhandlinger. Garys deling får til opgave at patruljere i Belfast, men før han ved af det, bliver han adskilt fra resten af gruppen og befinder sig pludselig mutters alene på fjendtligt territorium, fanget bag fjendens linjer i noget, der mest af alt kan karakteriseres som en krigszone. Af frygt for konsekvenserne smider Gary sin uniform og bliver den ensomme ulv i et spindelvævsagtigt IRA-domineret kvarter og det udsete offer for en regulær menneskejagt. Højst uventet får han midt i krisens stund hjælp fra en dreng. Men er han én, man kan stole på?
