After his predecessor perishes under mysterious circumstances, a ghostwriter agrees to help a former British prime minister finish his memoirs, but the author but finds himself in danger when he uncovers a web of secrets and corruption.

Interesting movie, very dark, very tormented, in a game of seduction and power that leaves the audience perpetually in alert, who is the person behind, who controls. The cast is perfect and the cinematography so cold you could feel the wind entering you. And of course, it echoes the games high personality play, when they know their actions can be protected. Never dig too deep...
