Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson star in this eight-part miniseries based on Gillian Flynn's debut novel. After being discharged from a psychiatric hospital, reporter Camille Preaker (Adams) is sent back to her hometown of Wind Gap, Missouri to investigate the suspected murder of two teenage girls. While she acquaints herself with the victims' families and Detective Richard Willis (Chris Messina), who is leading the case, Camille moves back in with her overbearing mother, Adora (Clarkson), stepfather, Alan (Henry Czerny), and half-sister Amma (Eliza Scanlen), where memories of her past resurface to haunt her.
