A young East Ender woman, Michelle Williams, is married to bomb-disposal officer Lenny, Nicholas Gleaves, and they have a four-year-old son. She begins an affair with a reporter named Jasper, Ewan McGregor. Tragedy strikes when a terrorist attack carried out by six suicide bombers at a football match kills Lenny, their son, and about 1000 others.
In the wake of the catastrophe, Jasper and Terrence Butcher, Matthew Macfadyen (the head of the anti-terrorist division), attempt to comfort the mother and share in her grief, though their conversations are tinted by the complexities of love and loyalty. As the investigation unfolds, the mother begins to piece together the bombers’ network, and her life takes a course she never anticipated.
