Based on an Acclaimed Bestselling Novel
The eight-episode series is based on the 2020 bestselling novel of the same name by author Araminta Hall. Showrunner and creator Annie Weisman is helming the adaptation, which promises to deliver a dark and compelling narrative. The story follows a trio of women who have maintained a close friendship for years, until a shocking crime completely shatters their lives.
A synopsis for the series reveals: "The unconventional thriller explores guilt and retribution, love and betrayal, and the compromises we make that alter our lives irrevocably. As the investigation unfolds, so does the truth about how even the closest friendships may not be what they seem."

The new trailer showcases the dysfunctional relationship between the three main characters, which is brutally upended when one of them is found dead. Following the launch of an investigation, the surviving friends are forced to relive their last moments with the deceased while confronting secrets, scandals, and past mistakes that threaten to unravel everything.
Joining Moss and Washington in the impeccable ensemble cast are major talents including Kate Mara, Joel Kinnaman, Corey Stoll, and Leslie Odom Jr. The supporting cast is rounded out by Audrey Zahn, Jill Wagner, Rome Flynn, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Violette Linnz, Indiana Elle, Jackson Kelly, Keith Carradine, Ana Ortiz, Wilson Bethel, and Sherri Saum.
