John Washington is a memory detective - he is able to access memories in order to solve crimes. Traumatised by the death of his wife and baby son, he is given an "easy" case - assisting Anna, the daughter of wealthy parents, who is refusing to eat. But the case proves to be far less straightforward than anticipated: is he being manipulated by a sociopath?
Mark Strong is Washington and Taissa Farmiga (Vera's younger sister) is Anna in a strongly acted thriller with mildly supernatural overtones, which keeps you guessing all the way through. There is relatively little action or violence, but that doesn't really matter- this is primarily a thoughtful piece, and a mildly unusual one.
