The Nest follows the story of a charming and ambitious businessman named Rory as he relocates his wife Allison and their children from suburban America to his native England. The plan is to get rich in the booming 1980s London. While Rory’s career continues to rise in the city, Allison and the kids struggle to adapt. Soon, their family gets further apart as they find themselves stuck in the country in a run-down mansion they can’t afford to furnish.
The film stars Jude Law (The Talented Mr. Ripley) as Rory, Carrie Coon (The Leftovers, Ghostbusters: Afterlife) as Allison, Charlie Shotwell (Eli, Troop Zero) as Benjamin, Michael Culkin (The Crown) as Arthur Davies, Adeel Akhtar (Murdered by My Father) as Steve and Oona Roche (The Morning Show) as Sam.
