Isolated on a seaside estate during the 1918 Spanish Flu, an entitled journalist (Billy Magnussen) and his socialite wife (Sarah Gadon) take in a mysterious grifter as a private cook (Peter Sarsgaard).
When the plague descends on the island, the wily cook rouses his fellow staff to rebel and take over the mansion.
Their wealthy employer suspects the cook's coup is part of a more sinister agenda, and mind games between master and servant escalate into boisterous class warfare.
"Fleet and frisky at just 97 minutes, tidily but not ostentatiously crafted, and in thrall to the pleasurably low-stakes sport of watching one scoundrel outwit another." —Guy Lodge, Variety
"Wonderfully assured in its boldness and swagger." —Erin Free, FILMINK
