Story
Rhys Meyers' character (Chris Wilton, a former tennis player) marries into a wealthy family, but his social position is threatened by an affair and the subsequent pregnancy of his brother-in-law's ex-girlfriend (Nola Rice), played by Johansson.
The whole story is a black humor about luck and destiny.
