When one of his gang is mistakenly shot by a rival organisation, Nidge plays the diplomat... but a mad drunken Paddy's night slides out of control towards disaster.

Nidge sets out to persuade Dano that he had nothing to do with his father's disappearance but a scapegoat must be found. Nidge turns to ever faithful Darren for help.

Nidge struggles to allay Dano's suspicions when his secret threatens to get out as Siobhan and Elmo, for different reasons, start to talk.

Pressure builds on Nidge as the leaders of Dano's organisation send an inquisitor down from the north to thwart him, and matters only get worse as his lies start to catch up with him.

As both Dano and the Gardaí begin to put the puzzle together, what can Nidge do to stay ahead and stay alive?
