       Susan (Adams) runs an avante-garde gallery, living off her rich business man husband (Hammer). She gets a manuscript from her ex-husband Edward (Gyllenhaal), whom she hasn’t seen for twenty years. It’s the story of Tony (also Gyllenhaal) and his wife and daughter who are run off the road in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere by a gang of thugs.

       As she reads, Susan remembers her marriage to Edward.

       It’s beautiful acting and quite captivating but I don’t really get it.
