According to the synopsis of the series, the storyline will revolve around the journalist who “built her reputation revealing the misdeeds and transgressions of others.” It further reads that her life turns upside down after she receives a novel from an unknown author, after which “she is horrified to realize she is now the main character in a story that exposes her darkest secrets.”

In his voiceover, Kilne states in the background, “They say that destiny knocks at the door. That is not true. Destiny doesn’t knock on any door. It crashes in without permission and grabs you mercilessly by your soul.”
Further in the trailer, the actor says, “The world needs to know who Catherine Ravenscroft really is. The world needs to know the truth.”
As for the series director, Cuaron will return to the industry after six years, following his last project, Roma, which was released in 2018.
