Three boys. One schoolyard. A lifetime of consequence.
Gallagher, Maxwell, and O'Kane grow up together in a northern Irish city, bound by friendship and the simple loyalties of youth. But as they come of age, each chooses a different path.
Gallagher is drawn into the world of armed struggle, convinced that history demands action. Maxwell enters the service of the British state, believing order and stability must be defended. O'Kane, having long felt the call to the priesthood, dedicates his life to faith and conscience.
As the violence spreads beyond Ireland and into London, their lives move further apart-until circumstances bring them back into each other's orbit. Old friendships, buried memories, and opposing loyalties collide in a world shaped by suspicion, duty, guilt, and revenge.
Criss Cross is a powerful story of friendship divided by history, where choices made in youth echo across decades and the bonds of the past refuse to loosen their grip.
