Synopse
Shot in Hamburg with a great cast: Julie Delpy, Richard E. Grant and Daryl McCormack: a debut film in the form of a gripping Noir thriller. The young writer Liam (Daryl McCormack) is tasked with preparing the spoilt son of his literary idol, star author J.M. Sinclair (Richard E. Grant), for his entrance exam to Oxford University. But he soon finds himself caught up in a web of family secrets, resentment and revenge. Sinclair, his wife Hélène (Julie Delpy) and their son have a dark past that threatens Liam’s future as much as their own.
