Synopsis:
Roy Harper moves into his new house in Northern Ireland. He discovers two orphans living there, Moira and Buttons. He lets them stay. At the local pub, he is attacked and beaten by a group of men known as the Sanas. The arrival of a man named Hunter scares them away.

Roy returns home and learns that the Sanas killed the father of the orphans. He has apparently gotten in the middle of a conflict between them and the Friends of the Empire. Just as Moira finishes her tale, a passing car throws a molotov cocktail through Roy's window.
