Rory (Jude Law), an ambitious entrepreneur and former commodities broker, persuades his American wife, Allison (Carrie Coon), and their children to leave the comforts of suburban America and return to his native England during the 1980s. Sensing opportunity, Rory rejoins his former firm and leases a centuries-old country manor, with grounds for Allison’s horses and a stable. However, all is not as it seems and soon the promise of a lucrative new beginning starts to unravel and the couple have to face both the secrets and unwelcome truths that lie beneath the surface of their marriage.
