It stars Pierce Brosnan, Toni Collette, Imogen Poots, and Aaron Paul. The plot centres around four strangers who meet on the roof of a London building on New Year's Eve, each with the intent of committing suicide. Their plans for death in solitude are ruined when they meet as they decide to come down from the roof alive, however temporary that may be. The film received mostly negative reviews, with criticism of the source material and the film's cast.
