Northern Ireland - beneath the exterior gloss of modern Belfast, individuals work feverishly in the shadows, intent on finding answers in a coded list, intent on a desperate drive to gain the prize at the end before others do so. A house fire exposes hidden and deceitful connections and leads John Kelly on a tour of discovery along the scenic north coast to find lives shaped by betrayal, greed and murder as the past increasingly seeps into the present. North Coast is alive with characters both heart breaking and triumphant and shows how none are free to escape their pasts, revealing unexpected connections, culminating in violent revenge.
