Plot:
In the 1980’s, Rory (Law), a former broker now turned ambitious entrepreneur, convinces Allison (Coon), his American wife, and their two children to leave the comfort of a prosperous-looking suburb in the United-States to move to England, his birth country. Convinced he will make a fortune, Rory rents an old manor in the countryside where his wife will be able to ride a horse. But the hope of a profitable new beginning quickly fades away and the isolation starts tearing the family equilibrium apart.
