''Leave this Justin. Go home.'' ''I can't go home. Tessa was my home. '' A widower is determined to get to the bottom of a potentially explosive secret involving his wife's murder, big business, and corporate corruption. Ralph Fiennes: Justin Quayle Rachel Weisz: Tessa Quayle Powerful, emotional and political Constant Gardner is hard for me to watch due to it's material yet i couldn't look away.
