The chance meeting of delusional drifter Eunice (Amanda Plummer) and timorous gas station employee Miriam (Saskia Reeves) leads to a deranged, whirlwind romance as well as a crazed murder spree across England. While Miriam tries to protect and transform Eunice into a good person, she's compelled to help cover up the brutal killings. Michael Winterbottom directs his artfully executed drama. Des McAleer and Kathy Jamieson co-star.
