　　苏格兰女王玛丽（克蕾曼丝·波西 Clemence Poesy 饰）在18岁之前都生活在异国他乡，成年之后，她回到了苏格兰继承了王位。直到这时，这位天真的少女才发现，原来王室的生活除了肉眼可见的奢侈和华贵外，还暗藏着无数的下三路勾当。
　　在吃了几回亏之后，玛丽迅速的成长起来 ，逐渐蜕变成为了一位真正受人敬仰的女王，但在此过程中，她失去了太多。为了稳固政权，玛丽被迫借给了英格兰伯爵，但之后，她邂逅了英俊的护卫队长（保罗·尼科尔斯 Paul Nicholls 饰），两人之间很快就碰撞出了爱情的火花。当玛丽女王沉浸在她甜蜜的爱情之中时，宫内亦正在酝酿一个惊人的阴谋。

　　结束了一段破败的婚姻，干练自强的凯瑟琳（伊丽莎白·苏 Elisabeth Shue 饰）带着女儿艾莉莎（詹妮弗·劳伦斯 Jennifer Lawrence 饰）远离芝加哥，搬到了一处位于州际公园丛林深处的房子居住。这里风光秀美，景色宜人，深得母女二人的欢心。美中不足的是，附近一处住宅四年前曾经发生惨绝人寰的杀人案件，失踪的女儿更成为当地人口中盘桓不去的幽怨鬼魂，这一切令人不免心怀惴惴。未过多久，心情烦乱的艾莉莎结识了那户悲剧人家幸存的独子瑞恩（马克斯·希尔莱耶 Max Thieriot 饰）。

　　Erstwhile Special Forces operative Doc Alexander is asked to broker a truce with the Mexican drug cartel in secrecy. When Oklahoma Governor Richard Jeffs celebrates the execution of a high-ranking cartel member on TV, his Chief of Staff and Doc inform him about the peace he just ended. But it’s too late, as Cuco, the cartel’s hatchet man, has set his vengeful sights on Doc’s daughter Dixie.
　　They don’t make ’em like Little Dixie anymore: honed to the bone, all gestures and actions, only a few words. Too many genre films these days try to create meaning by piling ideas and intentions on their narrative frames. John Swab, as always, works the other way around. Meaning and depth come from taking away whatever is superfluous – by reducing the plot to its bare essence and the characters to their core trades and tricks.
　　Ultimately, Little Dixie feels like the pulp fiction version of a Giacometti sculpture, all fearful symmetries and mirror images. A gem of crime cinema at its purest and most philosophical, proudly featuring noir’s new darling, Frank Grillo.
