Jane: Hey.
Alan: [hands her a folder]
Jane: [looking through the pages] Where did you get these?
Alan: Somebody from the archives delivered them.
Jane: [continues to look through the pages, getting upset] That's not possible... My foster parents would have told me.
Alan: Jane. These files just... didn't appear out of the blue... You ordered them.
Jane: When?
Alan: You tell me.
Jane: [through her teeth] I can't remember.
Alan: You own that house.

- Crazy creditsThere's a small scene showing the house shortly after the credits start.
Australian beauty Abbie Cornish is Jane, a woman with a horrific past that she can not remember. Cornish resonates as a wife and mother struggling to recall unthinkable events from a tragic childhood. Although she plays a gal from the American Midwest, her indigenous Aussie accent does seep through on occasion. But that doesn't detract from a solid performance as the anchor of a uniformly fine cast which includes veteran pros Dermot Mulroney and Justin Long.
And one other thing. Watching "Lavender" may well result in you never again looking at unexpected presents wrapped in pretty red ribbon as a welcome surprise.
