Steven Poliakoff is one of Britain's finest writers of both television ('Shooting The Past', 'Joe's Palace') and film (Close My Eyes). With an all star cast of British acting talent Poliakoff has made his first film for 15 years.

Set in the summer of 1939, just before the Second World War, this absorbing thought provoking thriller shows how the dark secrets at the heart of a wealthy and influential family can help to tear it apart. Sir Alexander Keyes (Nighy) is a Conservative MP and the head of the family, his daughter Anne (an excellent performance from Romola Garai), a promising actress, begins to look into the death of one of her closest friends and suspects that the British establishment may be involved.
