Plot Synopsis

Adapted for the screen by Joe Penhall from his own play, Some Voices tells the story of Ray (Daniel Craig), who after being discharged from a psychiatric hospital is taken back to London by his brother, Pete (David Morrissey). Pete runs a restaurant, and also has the added pressure of making sure Ray keeps taking his medication and settles back into the community. One day Ray meets Laura (Kelly Macdonald), a flighty Scottish girl, he falls in love, and begins to wonder whether the tablets he has to take are really necessary.
