Based on the best selling novel by Ian McEwan, this is the story of a postcard perfect afternoon in the English countryside blown apart by the disastrous consequences of a hot air balloon crash.
For Joe (Daniel Craig), the effects of the accident are far reaching when fellow survivor, Jed (Rhys Ifans), becomes increasingly obsessed with him. As events draw to their inexorable conclusion, Jed's fast-growing fascination threatens not only Joe's relationship with his girlfriend, but their lives too.
