- Synopsis:
When the reclusive Stephen Ezard (Cumberbatch) returns to London for the funeral of his brother Michael (Beesley), he feels like a stranger in his own country. National security fears have transformed Britain into a security state where ID cards are compulsory and armed police patrol the streets. He is startled to discover that Michael had a beautiful wife, Yasim (Marinca), and seeks comfort in her arms. But Yasim is on a mission of her own. Terrified of losing her, Stephen agrees to support a secretive government project - but his actions trigger a spiral of deadly events. Kidnapped by a violent man, seduced by an old lover with friends in high places and followed at every turn, Stephen doesn't know who he can trust. When he tries to uncover the truth behind his brother's death he discovers that his civil liberties have been so seriously eroded that his investigation makes him an enemy of the state.
