Spoilers ahead

Matt Buckner, portrayed by Elijah Wood, faces a life-altering turn of events when he is expelled from Harvard University after trace amounts of cocaine are found in his dorm room. Unbeknownst to many, the cocaine actually belonged to his roommate, Jeremy Van Holden (a character played by Terence Jay), a member of a well-off family that wields considerable influence. Feared and pressured, Matt takes the blame in exchange for a hefty sum of $10,000 from Jeremy. Seeking a fresh start, he relocates to the United Kingdom to stay with his sister, Claire Forlani, her husband Steve Dunham (Marc Warren), and their young son, Ben (James Allison).
