The official description of the series states:

“Since the tragic death of her young son, acclaimed author Aggie Wiggs (Danes) has receded from public life, unable to write, a ghost of her former self. But she finds an unlikely subject for a new book when the house next door is bought by Nile Jarvis (Rhys), a famed and formidable real estate mogul who was once the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance. At once horrified and fascinated by this man, Aggie finds herself compulsively hunting for the truth – chasing his demons while fleeing her own – in a game of cat and mouse that might turn deadly.”

Snow will star as Nina, Nile’s spouse. Morales will play Shelley, Aggie’s ex-wife. Lyons will play FBI agent Brian Abbot. Guinee will play Wrecking Ball, described as “an intimidating presence in Nile’s life.”
