Spoilers ahead
Tanya, a young Russian woman, arrives with her 10-year-old son Artyom in London, hoping to be met by her fiancé Mark. When he does not appear, she panics and makes a political asylum claim, which lands her and Artyom in the Stonehaven, a former resort town that has been converted into a “designated holding area” for undocumented immigrants. They are housed in a shabby apartment building that looks out over an abandoned amusement park, a setting patrolled by officers who keep a wary eye on anyone who might try to slip away. Among her belongings, she carries a framed illustration she drew during her years in Russia, a small beacon of the life she hopes to salvage.
