When London novelist Daisy Langrish (Penelope Wilton) flees from a damaging marriage to her newly acquired Yorkshire cottage to write, she warily accepts an offer from her seemingly polite, respectful neighbour Henry Kent (Michael Kitchen) to beautify the property's neglected garden.
Henry considers himself an expert on women and with flattery, service and seduction, he knows how to use them... and abuse them. Under his charming veneer, Henry carefully conceals his desire for erotica, a disdain for employment and his penchant for vodka. Falling into Henry's obsessive trap, Daisy can only wish she had heeded her own intuition when love suddenly turns deadly!
