Nicole Kidman will star in and produce an adaptation of the A.S.A Harrison novel. The psychological thriller focuses on “an affluent Chicago couple who’ve been together 20 years and seem very stable.

The novel cleverly alternates viewpoint from chapter to chapter, one told from his vantage point, the next from hers, and the tale builds toward catastrophe.” (Deadline)
