Father Eoin ODonnell is unambiguous about the need to use violence to force Britain out of Ireland. He influences a young impressionable boy, Antainem to fight in the 1916 Rising. Fifty years later Antaine arrives in Derry as an experienced gunman. This appearance throws Eoin back to the cause of his breakdown in 1916. Eoins influence on young Antaine echoes in Antaines dark influence on altar boy Feidhlim.
In 1916, fire-brand Father Eoin ODonnell is convinced that only violence will force Britain out of Ireland. He influences young, impressionable, Antaine to fight in the Easter Rising. 50 years on, experienced gunman Antaine arrives in Derry where Eoin was sent in Penance in 1916, and rekindles Eoins guilt about his influence over Antaine while a boy: especially as its echoed in Antaines dark influence over his congregation, especially altar boy, Feidhlim. Eoin now abhors violence and tries to persuade Antaine to negotiate. Failing, he realizes the only way to break the cycle of violence and revenge is to undermine Feidhlims belief in Antaine as a hero. And for that he must sacrifice himself. Eoin informs on Antaine. As he struggles with this betrayal he says Mass: perhaps his own Last Rights. As Feidhlim enters the Church, history comes full circle.
