Tom is a tennis coach at a luxurious island hotel; filling the time between lessons and one-night stands. That is until the arrival of a mysterious family, who pulls Tom out of his normal routine. As he strikes up a relationship with Anne, her husband Dave, and their son Anton, Tom is unable to shake the feeling that he has met Anne before. However, tension grows between them until one night Dave goes missing, and the police suspect Tom and Anne. Starring Sam Riley (Control), Stacey Martin and Jack Rawlings, its centre beautifully held by Riley, who with his sad eyes and whisky voice does a great job of conveying a lost soul in the last chance saloon. Audiences are in for a scorching, sun-frazzled Hitchcockian delight from German director Jan-Ole Gerster in this twisty, tense noir mystery.
