Synopsis:

This chilling thriller from acclaimed director David Cronenberg stars Viggo Mortensen Naomi Watts in a gritty tale of Russian-run organized crime in London. Watts plays an innocent midwife who unwittingly stumbles onto a complex and dangerous web of underground sex trafficking after she searches for the identity of a young mother who dies during child birth. Mortensen is the shadowy Nicolai, a ruthless figure closely associated with a prominent crime family who may not be all that he seems. Cronenberg is masterful as he creates a dark and haunting world where survival rules and human lives are merely currency.
