Oscar Award Winner Helen Mirren (The Queen, Elizabeth I, Prime Suspect, Gosford Park) stars as Maggie Sheridan, a hard-living self-destructive wild child of the sixties who is long past her glory days as one of the most famous blues voices of her generation. After a failed suicide attempt she is taken in by Sir Charles Stafford and his son Sebastian. Her comfort and support is soon shattered when Sir Charles is brutally murdered and a valuable sixteenth century painting is stolen. Convinced that the stolen painting holds the key to his death, she is drawn into the murky underworld of the illegal art trade uncovering shocking secrets, with horrific consequences. Evoking the sexiness of the sixties and the fickleness of fame, Helen Mirren is unforgettable as Maggie in this powerful and disturbing murder mystery.
