Set in the 70's, Jean (Rachel Brosnahan) is married to a criminal. They can't have children and the marriage has gone stale. One day out of the blue, he comes home with a baby. Suddenly, she raising the baby as her own. Her husband goes missing and she has to go on the run with Cal whom she has never met before.
This is a fascinating little crime noir. Brosnahan is great. The movie reaches a high point with neighbor Evelyn. There is a great question about her motives. It could have spent more time at her house with the two thugs. The rest of the movie rambles on and the movie is way too long at two hours. That's not to say that it doesn't have some great scenes in the second half. It's just that it would work better to stay at Evelyn's for the climax. Instead, the movie becomes various killers randomly finding her and trying to kill her. It feels very random but Brosnahan delivers some great work. One thing, I expected that she would leave her friends at the hospital. Those are gnarly injuries and they can't just sleep it off. They are likely to die from them without treatment.
