A bizarre and compelling story of family secrets based on the novel by Ian McEwan (who also wrote the novel upon which The Comfort of Strangers is based), this British film tells the complex tale of four children who conspire to hide their dead mother's body to avoid being split apart and sent to an orphanage. Their deception works for a while, as they forge a self-sufficient family unit. Soon, however, mistrust and a deeply antagonistic relationship between the older siblings, rife with sexual overtones, as well as a snooping suitor with designs on the older sister threaten to destroy their well-constructed facade.
