Dublin, some years from now, and the President of the United States has just been assassinated during a state dinner in his honour. The official account has already taken hold but a hawk-eyed octogenarian named Monk, believing that there's nothing that cannot be known, has a version of his own--a dark and twisted tale of both the watcher and the watched. "Nothing gets past a man as invisible as me," he says, introducing us to a cast of damaged characters he has kept under the strictest surveillance for years.
