Nineteen-year-old hooligan Tommy (Anson Boon) is on a bender with his wild friends. When he becomes separated from the group, he continues partying into the early hours. Though he is no stranger to inflicting violence, Tommy is horrified when he wakes with a chain around his neck in the basement of the isolated suburban family home of well-to-do Chris (Stephen Graham), his wife Kathryn (Andrea Riseborough), and their young son Jonathan. The kidnapping is part of a process of turning Tommy into a “good boy,” which he — at first — vehemently rejects. Finding himself the subject of a forced rehabilitation while trapped inside a dysfunctional family unit, he seeks escape at any cost. As the walls close around him, Tommy finds middle ground with his tormentors though he soon learns that, although independence might be close, it would come at a significant cost. Fresh and unsettling, Good
