After the comparatively light nature of Looking For Eric, Ken Loach returns to more explicitly political material with Route Irish. It follows Fergus, played by Mark Womack, as he deals with the psychological aftermath of the Iraq war.

It is Fergus' quest to find the truth of his friend's death that drives the drama, leading him to uncover the brutal practices of the sinister private security firm that employed them.
