Combining Hitchcockian thrills with a seductive European sensibility, Islands is a slow-burner set in an all-inclusive Canary Islands resort. Tom (Sam Riley), a professional tennis player-turnedcoach, spends his days pelting balls at holidaymakers. He has resigned himself to a self-destructive cycle of drinking and one-night stands. Then a peculiar British couple, Anne (Stacy Martin) and Dave (Jack Farthing), arrive seeking one-on-one tennis lessons for their young son Anton (Dylan Torrell). He has an instant connection with the family and finds himself with renewed vigour as he shows them his favourite dinner spot and takes them out for drinks. However, the next morning, Dave is nowhere to be found, Anne is blasé, and Tom becomes entangled in a claustrophobic police investigation.-Little White Lies
