Kidman plays Grace Fraser - a successful therapist with a devoted husband and a young son who attends an elite private school in New York City. 

Overnight a chasm opens in her life: a violent death, a missing husband, and, in the place of a man Grace thought she knew, only a chain of terrible revelations...
