Histoire
In Edinburgh, Scotland, three friends - David (Ewan McGregor), Juliet (Kerry Fox), and Alex (Christopher Eccleston) - interview and select a new flatmate named Hugo. Shortly after he moves in, they discover him dead from an apparent drug overdose in his room. Rather than reporting it to the police, they decide to hide the body and keep a large sum of cash they find hidden in his room. However, as days pass, their friendship begins to disintegrate due to paranoia and suspicion over who might have taken some of the money missing from their stash. The situation becomes even more dire when it's revealed that Hugo was involved with some dangerous people who are now searching for him and his money.
