In a darkly twisted plot, teenage voyeur Hallam Foe (Jamie Bell) spies on his stepmother, Verity (Claire Forlani), through binoculars, finding himself irresistibly attracted to her even as he becomes convinced she murdered his mother. When Hallam flees to the city and meets a woman (Sophia Myles) who resembles his mother, his binocular-spying obsessions begin anew. But when Verity and his father track him down, will the truth surface?

Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh adapts three surreal, darkly comic vignettes from his collection of short stories set in the Scottish slums, including the title tale about an acidhead who switches bodies with a pampered infant. In "The Granton Star Cause," a slacker faces a string of rejections, thanks to the whims of a cruel, foulmouthed God. In "A Soft Touch," a hapless husband struggles with a sadistic neighbor.

Ex-boarding school classmates meet after 16 years and begin a tentative relationship, now that one of them is a postoperative transsexual. Steven Mackintosh and Rupert Graves star.

Karl Foyle (Steven Mackintosh) and Paul Prentice (Rupert Graves) were boyhood friends back in the 1970s, but when they run into each other in present-day London, they learn that a lot has changed. For starters, Karl has become Kim and has no desire to go back to her past. As for Paul, he's just an aging punk with a dead-end job. The two rekindle their friendship and are surprised to find their relationship becoming much deeper than they expected.

Karl Foyle and Paul Prentice were best mates at school in the Seventies. But when they meet again in present-day London things are definitely not the same.
