Short description
Liam, an aspiring and ambitious young writer, eagerly accepts a tutoring position at the family estate of his idol, renowned author J.M. Sinclair. But soon, Liam realizes that he is ensnared in a web of family secrets, resentment, and retribution. Sinclair, his wife Hélène, and their son Bertie all guard a dark past, one that threatens Liam’s future as well as their own.
What's left behind the scenes
- The phrase by J.M. Sinclair (played by Richard E. Grant) about great writers stealing (ideas) is derived from words attributed to T.S. Eliot: “Good writers borrow (ideas), great writers steal them.”
- The film Sinclair watches while talking to Liam, played by Daryl McCormack, with gunshots sounding from the screen, is the crime drama "Blonde Sinners" (1956) by J. Lee Thompson.
