William Adamson (Mark Rylance) is an impoverished naturalist whose fortunes seem to improve when he marries Eugenia (Patsy Kensit), the daughter of a rich aristocratic family. However, life amongst his new relatives isn't easy, with his brother-in-law Edgar (Douglas Henshall) taking an immediate dislike to him, and Eugenia's own behaviour becoming increasingly erratic. She produces many children, is passionately sexual, yet keeps very distant from William. It takes the intervention of relative Matty (Kristin Scott Thomas) before William discovers the decay and corruption within the family.
