When a Russian teenager dies in childbirth, nurse Anna (Watts) determines to find her family and save the baby from foster care. The girl’s diary leads her to enigmatic ‘driver’ Nikolai (Mortensen) and the bloody underworld of the Russian Mafia.

A Cronenberg film so it's pretty grisly in some scenes. Well played and directed but it just sort of rolls to a stop at the end.
