The story centers around Jamie Morgan (Sturgess), a troubled photographer with a birthmark on his face shaped like a love heart and large birthmarks on his arm. He works at a photo studio with his brother, where he meets Tia (Poésy) who is trying to be a model.
In the end, Jamie begins to believe that all the fantastic elements of his reality were illusions – The birthmark never went away, the demons were actually gang members in masks and the little girl was someone he saw while watching the news. He is ultimately killed by one of the gang members, burning to death after a Molotov cocktail is thrown in his direction. He then hears his father (Spall)'s voice and we see him talking to a young Jamie under the tree. Then Jamie turns into his adult form and looks toward the sky leaving us staring at the stars.
