Will (
Jude Law) has a thriving landscape architecture firm which he runs with his friend,
Sandy (
Martin Freeman). Professionally, things could not be better but Will spends less and less time at home with his beautiful, melancholy partner, Liv (
Robin Wright Penn) and her troubled 13-year-old daughter, Bea. Will's office has recently relocated to King's Cross, the center of Europe's most ambitious urban regeneration site and their state-of-the-art studio repeatedly attracts the attentions of a local gang of thieves.
After one of the break-ins, Will follows teenaged parkour enthusiast Miro (Rafi Gavron) back to the apartment he shares with his mother, Amira (Juliette Binoche), a Bosnian refugee. With his relationship already in crisis, Will embarks on a passionate journey into both the wilder side of himself and the city in which he lives.
