Thriller in which a successful lawyer attempts to civilise the last remaining woman from a wild rural clan. Chris Cleek (Sean Bridgers) is a well-off country lawyer, married and with a young family. One day, in the woods near his home, Chris comes across a feral woman (Pollyanna McIntosh) bathing. With a love for order, the family man decides to bring her home with him and 'civilise' her. The woman is so wild he is at first forced to chain her in the basement. He introduces the woman to his wife, Belle (Angela Bettis), and his children, Peggy (Lauren Ashley Carter) and Brian (Zach Rand), and encourages them to interact with her to help bring out her human side. Will his experiment in 'civilisation' succeed, or will the woman threaten the civilised existence of the family?

James McAvoy stars as a corrupt, sociopathic Edinburgh cop in director Jon S. Baird's fast-paced black comedy, adapted from the novel by Irvine Welsh. Bored with his duties as a Detective Sergeant in the Edinburgh police force, Bruce Robertson (McAvoy) gorges himself on a mixture of cocaine, alcohol, sexually abusive relationships and endless junk food, whilst plotting to get one over on his colleagues in his quest for a promotion. But although he nurses hopes of getting back together with his ex-wife Carole (Shauna MacDonald), Bruce soon finds his life spiralling out of control, when his drug addiction and unchecked psychological issues combine to test his grip on reality and push him over the edge.
