The film follows the story of a charming and ambitious businessman named Rory (Law) as he relocates his wife Allison (Coon) and their children from suburban America to his native England. The plan is to get rich in the booming 1980s London. While Rory’s career continues to rise in the city, Allison and the kids struggle to adapt. Soon, their family gets further apart as they find themselves stuck in the country in a run-down mansion they can’t afford to furnish. The isolation and mounting financial issues began to take a toll on their family bonds.
The film stars two-time Oscar nominee Jude Law (The Talented Mr. Ripley, Cold Mountain) as Rory, Emmy nominee Carrie Coon (Fargo, The Leftovers, Ghostbusters: Afterlife) as Allison, Charlie Shotwell (Eli, Troop Zero) as Benjamin, Michael Culkin (The Crown) as Arthur Davies, Adeel Akhtar (Murdered by My Father) as Steve and Oona Roche (The Morning Show) as Sam. It also features BAFTA nominee Anne Reid, Wendy Crewson, and Tattiawna Jones.
