London-based crime drama based on the best-selling novel by Ken Bruen. Colin Farrell stars as Mitchell, a South London criminal who is released from prison after serving three years for a vicious attack he cannot even remember. In an attempt to leave the world of crime behind him, Mitchell gets a job as a security guard and handyman at the Holland Park mansion of reclusive young actress Charlotte (Kiera Knightley).

As time passes the two begin to develop an emotional bond, but Mitchell's violent past eventually catches up with him - with disastrous results. David Thewlis, Anna Friel, Ben Chaplin, Eddie Marsan and Ray Winstone co-star.
