Liam (Daryl McCormack), an aspiring and
ambitious young writer, eagerly accepts a tutoring position at the family
estate of his idol, renowned author J.M. Sinclair (Academy Award nominee
Richard E. Grant). But soon, Liam realizes that he is ensnared in a web of
family secrets, resentment, and retribution. Sinclair, his wife Hélène (Academy
Award nominee Julie Delpy), and their son Bertie (Stephen McMillan) all guard a
dark past, one that threatens Liam's future as well as their own. As the lines
between master and protégé blur, class, ambition, and betrayal become a dangerous
combination in this taut noir thriller.
