John is a repressed man who is shocked to find himself in middle age, secretly raging at his life as a stay-at-home dad.
When his failure to intervene in a violent confrontation in a playground brings his identity crisis to a head, John ups and moves his family to the rural idyll of Coldwater, as far away from London as possible.
Upon arrival, John is quickly befriended by next-door neighbour Tommy, a charming, confident man, devoted husband to the local vicar Rebecca. He is a man of faith, a pillar of the community and self-appointed leader of the village’s all-male book group.
John is both impressed and slightly fascinated by Tommy. His wife Fiona despises him. As a successful former chef hoping to launch a new venture in Coldwater, Fiona sees the move as an opportunity to leave the past behind them. To not only re-build their lives as a family but re-ignite the long-lost spark in their fading marriage. When her husband’s relationship with their enigmatic new neighbour becomes increasingly intense, Fiona’s suspicions are aroused. She is unconvinced Tommy is all he seems to be.
But John remains blissfully unaware that Tommy is harbouring horrifying secrets, and it’s only after a series of unsettling incidents start to occur that John begins to wonder who the real Tommy actually is.
And when John’s long-repressed rage comes to a head with disastrous results, he soon finds himself unexpectedly indebted to his new friend.
This is the story of a normal man, in a normal marriage, who finds himself in a far from normal situation. A man who discovers a newfound sense of his own power, right at the moment he falls under the influence of someone incredibly dangerous.
约翰是个压抑的男人，他震惊地发现自己已步入中年，内心深处对全职奶爸的生活感到愤怒。
当一次在游乐场发生的暴力冲突中，他因未出手制止而导致身份认同危机爆发时，约翰毅然带着家人搬到了风景如画的乡村小镇科尔德沃特，尽可能远离伦敦。
抵达后，约翰很快与隔壁邻居汤米成了朋友。汤米魅力十足、自信满满，是当地牧师丽贝卡的忠实丈夫。他信仰虔诚，是社区的栋梁，也是村里男性读书小组的自封领袖。
约翰对汤米既印象深刻，又有些着迷。而他的妻子菲奥娜却对他恨之入骨。菲奥娜曾是一位成功的厨师，她希望在科尔德沃特开启新的事业，并将这次搬家视为摆脱过去、重建家庭生活以及重燃婚姻激情的良机。当丈夫与神秘新邻居的关系日益密切时，菲奥娜的疑虑开始滋生。她并不相信汤米表面看起来那么简单。
然而，约翰却浑然不知汤米隐藏着可怕的秘密。直到一系列令人不安的事件发生后，约翰才开始怀疑汤米的真实身份。
当约翰长期压抑的愤怒最终爆发，酿成灾难性后果时，他却意外地发现自己欠下了这位新朋友一份人情。
这是一个普通男人，拥有普通婚姻，却身陷非同寻常境地的故事。他刚刚发现自己拥有了前所未有的力量，却也因此落入了一个极其危险人物的掌控之中。
