Mark Taffin (Pierce Brosnan), a debt collector in the small town of Ballymoran (actually Wicklow town), uses his smarts and martial arts skills to help locals collect debts they are owed. He beats up a restaurant owner and collects his car to pay the man's debt, and aids a trio of young men who have been sold a faulty van. He also helps Charlotte (Alison Doody), a local barmaid, who is having trouble with her employer, and who becomes his girlfriend.
