Een Ierse serie over een ex-agent met een uiterst koppig karakter. Jack Taylor (lain Glen - The Iron Lady/Game of Thrones) is een kei in zijn vak en gaat op zoek naar sporen waar anderen gestopt zijn met zoeken. Bovendien kent hij de straten en wijken in zijn geboortedorp Galway als zijn broekzak. Kleine dorpen hebben evenwel een groot collectief geheugen. Iemand zoals jack vergeet men er niet snel.
