Will Graham (Clive Owen, Closer, King Arthur, Gosford Park), a legendary gangster, has left the crime life to live as a recluse in the forest, hoping to gain back his soul. Sensing something has happened to his dashing younger brother Davey (Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Bend It Like Beckham, Vanity Fair), he is drawn back to London to be confronted by Davey's suspicious death. Will seeks out his former lover, Helen (Charlotte Rampling, Swimming Pool, Under The Sand), who pleads with him to leave the dangers of the city. He meets up with his old mate Mickser (Jamie Foreman, Gangster No. 1, Oliver Twist), surprises landlady Sylvia Syms (Victim, Ice Cold In Alex) and clocks new boss Turner (Ken Stott, Messiah, Shallow Grave) before zeroing in on the mysterious car dealer Boad (Malcolm McDowell, A Clockwork Orange, The Company). Acclaimed director Mike Hodges is reunited with Owen, his Croupier star, in this hypnotic and psychological drama that questions the nature of revenge and the conflicts in trying to escape one's past.
