Isolated on a seaside estate, an entitled journalist (Billy Magnussen) and his socialite wife (Sarah Gadon) take in a mysterious grifter as a private cook (Peter Sarsgaard). When a plague descends on the island, the wily cook rouses his fellow staff to rebel and take over the mansion. Their employer suspects the cook’s coup is part of a more sinister agenda, and mind games between master and servant escalate into all-out class warfare.
“A sharp comedy of menace. The kind of original script that doesn’t often see the light of day.” - Associated Press
“Sarsgaard and Magnussen are terrific actors who are skilled at what they do, and they do it here very well.” - Los Angeles Times
“A jaunty class-war comedy.” - Variety
“Fun! Amusing! Radical!” - The Hollywood Reporter
