Warning: Spoilers
Lonely farmer Nancy raises her daughters Hannah and Amy with financial difficulties on her farm, since her husband has disappeared a long time ago.

Her neighbour Karsten and his son intend to buy her farm and are pressing the family in an abusive way.

Out of the blue, wanderer Aden appears on the farm and helps Nancy with the delivery of an offspring.

Aden explains that he was a friend of her husband on an offshore rig and he offers to work for food and lodging.

Nancy accepts the offer and soon she has a love affair with Aden.....

Another one of those silly British movies that is all gritty and dirty looking, but trying to be the new 'thriller' or something.

This film fails on every level.

For a start the film has no plausibility about it, as no one would ever let a stranger stay in their house if they just appeared out of th blue, and the transformation from normal bloke to psychopath is just laughable.

When you look at it from another angle, the film ha no real meaning to exist. It just happens, in a very boring and predictable way.

Boring stuff, with a few minor distractions.
