I midten af 1990'erne terroriserede nogle få mægtige narkokonger Dublin, i en kamp om at kontrollere narkotikamarkedet. Deres mest frygtede modstander var imidlertid ikke politiet, men den modige journalist Veronica Guerin. Hun skyede ingen midler, i sit arbejde med at efterforske og afsløre flere af landets velkendte kriminelle personer. Hun forsøgte at skabe balance mellem sit privatliv og det ansvar hun følte hun havde, overfor både sine læsere og sit fædreland. Hendes utrættelige arbejde gjorde hende til en national helt, en position der for alvor blev cementeret da hun i 1996 blev brutalt myrdet. Denne gribende film er baseret på en sand historie, og er i øvrigt produceret af Jerry Bruckheimer. Joel Schumacher har instrueret.
