The Lieutenant of Inishmore

During a violent spurt in Northern Island of chip-shop bombings and torturous meetings, an Irish Liberation Army enforcer's cat is killed on a deserted road back in his lonely island home of Inishmore. For someone who loves his cat more than life itself, this enforcer is surely going to seek revenge and answers. They say curiosity killed the cat, but what happens to a curious and vindictive Irish Liberation Army officer?  Follow this vengeful and darkly comedic tale in Robert Lutfy's "The Lieutenant of Inishmore."
