Bored socialite Keira Knightley falls for groundskeeper James McAvoy. Their sexual tryst in a library is glimpsed by her impressionable young sister Saoirse Ronan. When Ronan's friend is raped she names McAvoy as the attacker although only glimpsing him for a moment in the dark. Her mis-identification changes all of their lives. Ronan, now a famous writer, concocts an alternate outcome for her last book, which is shown in the film as if it really happened. Their real fates are later revealed. A confusing, disjointed story laced with kinky sex and graphic war violence.
