The film is set in Sweeden. Rooney Mara plays a troubled girl in her 20s who specializes in profiling people for security companies. She's a computer wizard / hacker who can get info on anyone. A security company hires here to do a background check on Daniel Craig's character. The background check is performed at the request of Christopher Plummer's character. His character is the patriarch of a very successful Swedish conglomerate. He suspects dark secrets are buried in the family closet. The grown up family live on an island, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles living in separate houses but rarely speaking to each other. This is a very dysfunctional family to begin with but there are darker secrets buried in their closet revolving around the death of a 16 year old girl, member of the family, during a summer in the 1960s (the family is having a board meeting at the estate). Daniel Craig is hired by Christopher Plummer to investigate the family as Plummer suspects one of his surviving family members is responsible for the murder. In time Craig brings Rooney into the investigation to help.

The film is suspenseful and superbly filmed and directed. There is a very uncomfortable and realistic rape scene that's difficult to watch, though boy does Rooney get pay back for that.
