Adam (Andrew Scott) is a screenwriter living in London. He strikes up an uneasy acquaintance with his mysterious neighbour Harry (Paul Mescal), which edges towards something more intimate.

At the same time, on visiting his old family home, he discovers something quite strange and beautiful, which keeps him returning time and again. But as the days continue, Adam begins to question the turn his life has taken and whether it is to his detriment.

Andrew Haigh’s script sprinkles a sense of foreboding lightly over the proceedings, while his searching portrait of relationships is everything we have come to expect from the exceptional writer-director of Weekend and 45 Years.
