A suspicious wife hires an escort to test her husbands' fidelity in this provocative adult drama.
Catherine (Julianne Moore) is married to David (Liam Neeson), a music professor whom she fears may be cheating on her. To lay her doubts to rest once and for all she employs Chloe (Amanda Seyfried) to flirt with her husband and see if he responds. But Chloe's seductive behaviour proves too much of a temptation, and as she relays details of her sexually-charged meetings with David, Catherine begins to obsess about the situation she has created. Spiralling out of her control, events take an unpredictable turn with potentially deadly consequences for her family. Having coaxed brilliant performances from Colin Firth and Kevin Bacon in Where The Truth Lies (2005), Canadian director Atom Egoyan entices Moore and Seyfried into delivering compelling turns as two desperate women who will go to strange lengths to sabotage and salvage their relationships.

Bad Blake (Jeff Bridges) is a drunken old country music singer scraping a living in backwater bowling alleys and third-rate piano bars.

One gig blurs into the next until one night in Santa Fe, Bad falls for local journalist Jean Craddock (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a single mother with a few regrets of her own. In his attempt to find salvation with Jean, Bad is forced to face his demons and confront a life of regrets. As he pours his private sorrow into the best songs he's ever written, Bad learns the hard way just how tough life can be on one man's crazy heart.
