if it’s so good being free
would you mind telling me
why I don’t know what to do with myself?

A dark and rainy London is the backdrop of the dramatic story of four extremely different individuals who are linked by inexplicable ties. Nathan (Firth), failed photographer and (almost) former alcoholic, suffering from a severe form of bipolarism, when dumped by his wife decides he has nothing to live for anymore. Willing to take his life, once again drunk and sitting in a bar in the suburbs, he meets Carey (Gillan), a beautiful, ambitious young woman, his complete opposite. The two, solely linked together by a shared grief, will establish a special bond that will lead them to finally facing those issues that had scarred them their whole lives, but, when Carey finds love in John, played by a sublime Matt Smith, successful young writer, Nathan, deeply troubled by the profound change of the girl, will develop an insanely deep obsession for her, which will lead him to take up the camera and try to immerge himself into their lives through pictures of her, reaching the point of no return. When Alex (Watson), beautiful model whose deep weakness and inner fragility pushes Nathan to make her the subject of all his photos, is added to the grim triangle, the characters’ relationships slowly begin to unravel: How far can the obsession go?
