In a small town where desperation simmers just beneath the surface, a volatile couple sees a chance to escape their grim reality in James Marsh's gripping drama. Carey Mulligan stars as a fiercely determined woman, whose quiet life is a carefully constructed facade masking profound ambition and a willingness to risk everything. Her partner, played with intense charisma by Robert Pattinson, is a charismatic but reckless schemer whose grand plans are often undone by his own impulsivity. Together, they concoct a dangerous plot that promises untold wealth but threatens to unravel the fragile threads holding their world together. As their scheme accelerates, the line between ambition and obsession blurs, forcing them to confront the true cost of their desires and the depth of their loyalty to one another. Crafted from a sharp script by Brad Ingelsby, this tense character study explores the dark allure of easy money and the perilous lengths people will go to grasp a better future, all while the tightening noose of consequence draws ever closer.
