退休夫妇斯特拉（莱丝利·曼维尔 饰）和格里（塞伦·希德 饰）选择在深冬时节飞往阿姆斯特丹短暂休憩，期待在冰雪交织的景致中唤醒感官，重新审视彼此的人生轨迹。然而，在霜覆的街道与冰封的运河之间，那些关于北爱尔兰故土的尘封记忆逐渐浮现——一段艰难岁月与非常事件的重现，正悄然侵蚀着他们看似平静的关系表面。

　　一对在一起一辈子了的老夫妻，某天突然焕发新冲动，一起去到阿姆斯特丹。两人徜徉在他乡，面对“无法逃避的过去和秘密”，也坦言“没法再这样过下去了”。

John is a repressed man who is shocked to find himself in middle age, secretly raging at his life as a stay-at-home dad. 　　When his failure to intervene in a violent confrontation in a playground brings his identity crisis to a head, John ups and moves his family to the rural idyll of Coldwater, as far away from London as possible. 　　Upon arrival, John is quickly befriended by next-door neighbour Tommy, a charming, confident man, devoted husband to the local vicar Rebecca. He is a man of faith, a pillar of the community and self-appointed leader of the village’s all-male book group. 　　John is both impressed and slightly fascinated by Tommy. His wife Fiona despises him. As a successful former chef hoping to launch a new venture in Coldwater, Fiona sees the move as an opportunity to leave the past behind them. To not only re-build their lives as a family but re-ignite the long-lost spark in their fading marriage. When her husband’s relationship with their enigmatic new neighbour becomes increasingly intense, Fiona’s suspicions are aroused. She is unconvinced Tommy is all he seems to be. 　　But John remains blissfully unaware that Tommy is harbouring horrifying secrets, and it’s only after a series of unsettling incidents start to occur that John begins to wonder who the real Tommy actually is. 　　And when John’s long-repressed rage comes to a head with disastrous results, he soon finds himself unexpectedly indebted to his new friend. 　　This is the story of a normal man, in a normal marriage, who finds himself in a far from normal situation. A man who discovers a newfound sense of his own power, right at the moment he falls under the influence of someone incredibly dangerous.
