"Listen and I'll tell you a story of long kept secrets, sexual scandal, and murder... It's the story of my life." Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons (Reversal of Fortune, The Lion King) delivers a brilliant performance in this powerful and provocative story as history teacher Tom Crick, who inspires his students to embrace the past and discover the marvels and mysteries of life. Through a series of extraordinary stories, he takes them on an unforgettable journey into the past that changes their lives forever. However, one student (Ethan Hawke, Training Day, Dead Poets Society) proves to be more of a challenge, leading to revelations in which the past's haunting grip on the teacher's life threatens to consume all around him.

Featuring an incredible supporting cast including Sinead Cusack (V for Vendetta), Lena Headey (Possession), David Morrissey (Girl with a Pearl Earring), John Heard (Cutter's Way), Pete Postlethwaite (The Usual Suspects), Cara Buono (Gladiator), Ross McCall (Band of Brothers), and Maggie Gyllenhaal (Secretary).
