Logline:

Since the tragic death of her young son, acclaimed author AGGIE WIGGS (Claire 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 (Matthew 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.
