Two sisters living separate lives on different continents are reunited on a Mediterranean Island. The two barely have time to bond and revive family ties as Kate, the elder, meets a group of locals and agrees to an exciting ride on a hot air balloon. But disaster strikes and as the result of a freak accident, the balloon is carried far out to sea. Their cell phones out of range, and the balloon running out of gas, Kate and her friends are battling for their lives. While, back on land, the younger sister, Liz, has become an unwanted "material witness" to a crime. Matters then take a dramatic twist, one that will mark their lives forever.

是被過去塑造的囚徒，還是自我命運的締造者？故事以搶劫失敗后的悲劇開場。一位瀕臨崩潰的偏執女子，帶領兩名同伙搶劫了愛爾蘭農村信用社，但計劃漏洞百出。事態不斷失控，隨著時光倒流，那些無法逃離的記憶如同鎖鏈，不僅將她們拖入深淵，更將身邊人卷入致命漩渦。

　　在天眼尚未密布，監場保安仍會打瞌睡的二十世紀七十年代，名畫大盜就是會光天化日，大剌剌走進美術館，直接把獵物從墻上取下放入布袋運走。看似兒戲的一切，背后主謀還要是住在市郊、人畜無害的住家男人。凱莉·萊卡特完全棄用好萊塢盜寶片敘事公式，改以其擅長的左翼簡約主義鏡頭，捕捉觸犯藝術罪行者的日常生活、雙面人的言行處境，以及事件周遭人情冷暖。阿瑟多夫的抽象畫作未必是一個借口，但到頭來凸顯存在荒謬的公路逃亡，儼然為觀眾添加了不少欣賞和思考的層次。
