The Spectacular

The Spectacular is a gripping and intense historical thriller that takes place in 1988, one of the bloodiest years of the decade for IRA attacks. The story follows researcher Jeanine Maes as she is recruited to help with the criminal investigation into two IRA bombings that killed British soldiers in the Netherlands. As she delves deeper into the case, she comes face-to-face with her main suspect, Fiona Hughes, a dangerous and active member of the IRA. With the stakes high and the consequences dire, Jeanine must navigate a complex web of intrigue and deception to uncover the truth. Meanwhile, in Northern Ireland, MI5 forces IRA volunteer Patrick Lynch to infiltrate a group of terrorists led by legendary figure Declan Moore, who is determined to prove that the IRA still has teeth. As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, will Jeanine's pursuit of Fiona put the fragile peace process at risk? And will Declan's power struggle with Corey O'Keefe lead to another devastating wave of violence?
