New York City is subsumed in arctic winds, dark nights, and white lights, its life unfolds, for it is a wonderful hive mind, the bigger house ever built, and there is nothing that can verify their existence. One winter night, Peter Lake (Colin Farrell), an orphan and master mechanic, attempts to rob a fortress home of the Upper West Side. Though he thinks the house is empty, the daughter of the house is home. Thus begins the love between Peter, a middle-aged Irish burglar, and Beverly Penn (Jessica Brown Findlay), a girl who is dying. |
