Simone, a single mother, meets and falls in love with a handsome stranger named Raymond while out for a rare night on the town with her friends. The film poses several questions including whether or not Simone can allow someone get close to her, and if Raymond, who is on parole from prison, deserves her trust. There are storylines about Simone's disabled daughter, her daughter's estranged father, and Simone's relationship with her best friend. In the background, Raymond is being stalked by a wild knife wielding young man.
In May 2017, it was announced that principal production of the film had concluded in London, UK.[1] In September 2017, Netflix bought worldwide rights to the film, in what was a "multi-million dollar deal", believed to be Netflix's largest single acquisition of a U.K. film in its history at the time.[2][3]
It was released on October 26, 2018 by Netflix.[5]
