Prisoner's Daughter (R)

synopsis

Following a terminal cancer diagnosis, a prisoner is granted a compassionate release: an opportunity to spend his final few weeks under house arrest with his loved ones. Except there is very little love lost between Maxine (Kate Beckinsale) and her estranged ex-con father Max (Brian Cox). It's only her perilous financial state which persuades her to let him stay in her down-at-heel house in a Las Vegas suburb, just as long as he pays rent and keeps his true identity from her 12-year-old son Ezra (Christopher Convery).
