August 1997: Diana Spencer and her lover, Dodi Al-Fayed, are to visit Paris. An international fixer with an interest to protect puts a team in place to watch the Princess. The Ritz's Deputy Director of security and a paparazzo are their surveillance targets. But they are not the only ones watching Diana, and it soon becomes apparent that perhaps their street-level chicanery isn't equal to the events unfolding around them. Set in the shadows and margins of our own recent history, 12.23 sees Eoin McNamee weave a fictional narrative of dark imaginative power around the strange events of that summer in Paris.
