Susan Lynch and Rachel Weisz are a pair of women who are thrown together by the accidental death of the latter's boyfriend.

Right from the start, the tone is unclear. There are several acts of violence that should be unsettling, yet are rendered ineffectual by the elevator music soundtrack, autopilot acting and clichéd set-pieces.
