SYNOPSIS
Close to Me is the story of Jo Harding (Connie Nielsen), a woman who apparently has it all: a beautiful country house, a loving family, and a faithful husband (Christopher Eccleston). But after a fall, Jo’s last year fades from her memory. In trying to make sense of the forgotten events, Jo will discover that her life is not as perfect as she had imagined… and that someone will do everything in their power to prevent her from discovering a terrible secret.
