Synopsis

Carey Mulligan stars as a med school dropout who spends her nights feigning drunkenness at bars, enticing men to take her home, and confronting them when they try to abuse her without consent. When a wrongdoer from her past reemerges, she concocts a plan to get revenge on him—and on everyone who let it happen.
