In this true story, Veronica Guerin is an investigative reporter for an Irish newspaper. As the drug trade begins to bleed into the mainstream, Guerin decides to take on and expose those responsible. Beginning at the bottom with addicts, Guerin then gets in touch with John Traynor, a paranoid informant. Not without some prodding, Traynor leads her to John Gilligan, the ruthless head of the operation, who does not take kindly to Guerin's nosing.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut chronicle of one journalist's unflinching descent into Dublin's drug underworld, powered by moral conviction but shadowed by the certainty of danger. The film builds inexorably toward a tragedy you sense coming, making it as much an exploration of the cost of truth-telling as it is a crime story.
