Having closed the high-profile [[ComicBook/PlagueDoctor Plague Doctor case]], Igor Grom goes on a well-deserved vacation with his new girlfriend, Yulia Pchyolkina. The couple flies to Dublin, Ireland, where the national holiday St. Patrick's Day, is fast approaching—as is the British Royal Family's historical visit to the country.

!!This comic book provides examples of:
* BadBoss: Murdock Macalister is verbally and physically abusive towards his underlings, treating them like incompetent morons.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: After Igor is captured, Macalister's TortureTechnician, Billy, tries to break him by (among other things) stringing up a young bull in front of him and decapitating it with a chainsaw. There's even a close-up of the animal's eye filling with tears before it's killed. Igor responds by kicking the man in the throat with all of his strength.

* BaitAndSwitch: The first issue opens with a boarding call at a St. Petersburg airport; Igor tears frantically through the building, shoving past and jumping over passengers while he ruminates with deadly seriousness that he can't let a month's hard work go down the drain: that his struggles won't be in vain, and he ''will'' succeed. When he reaches his destination, it's revealed that he isn't pursuing a criminal, but racing to meet Yulia, so they can catch a flight to Ireland for their first vacation as a couple.
* CallBack: In Issue #12, a newspaper in the police station has a front page story about [[ComicBook/PlagueDoctor Sergey Razumovsky's arrest]]. In Issue #14, Murdock researches Igor Grom on the internet, bringing up another article about the case (with the headline "Young Multimillionaire Accused of 200 Murders").

* {{Crossover}}: Issue #14 reveals that Murdock Macalister is obtaining the group's weapons and ammunition personally from August Van der Holt (the BigBad of ''ComicBook/RedFury'').
* DysfunctionalFamily: As a family of terrorists, the Macalister clan are naturally ''extremely'' dysfunctional.
* HumanTraffickers: Macalister's men operate (among other things) a sex trafficking operation, which they use to staff their brothel. [[spoiler: Violet, the prostitute who previously appeared in ''Plague Doctor'', is one of their victims, and they intend to do the same with Yulia]].
