Project Detail

Birthday Girl

Synopsis

John Buckingham was an ordinary bank employee with a small home and a life built on routine - until he took a bride through a mail order service called 'From Russia with Love'.

The morning she arrives is her birthday, but he's the one who's in for the surprise.

She's more attractive than he expected. She has an insatiable appetite for sex. She only speaks one word of English: Yes. And almost nothing about her is what it appears to be.

No one can hold a candle to Nicole Kidman, the star of this sexy new thriller.
