L'histoire de deux hommes brisés par la violence qui contamine l'Irlande du Nord de la fin des années soixante jusqu'au processus de paix en 1998, et comment ils essaient de s'entendre sur les retombées de ces évènements.

Set in a post-Troubles Northern Ireland, The Truth Commissioner follows the fictional story of Henry Stanfield, played by Roger Allam, a career diplomat who has just been appointed as Truth Commissioner to Northern Ireland. Eager to make good as a peacemaker, the Prime Minister urges a commission following the South African model of Truth and Reconciliation. But, though Stanfield starts bravely, he quickly uncovers some bloody and inconvenient truths about those now running the country; truths which none of those in power are prepared to have revealed.
