Kidman stars as medical examiner Kay Scarpetta, who returns to her hometown where she began her career and "resumes her former position while investigating a grisly murder," per the official synopsis. "As Scarpetta pursues justice, she must navigate complicated relationships, including the fraught dynamic with her sister Dorothy Farinelli, confront long-held professional and personal grudges, and face secrets that threaten to unravel everything she's built."

Jamie Lee Curtis ("The Bear") co-stars as Kay's sister Dorothy, with Bobby Cannavale ("Boardwalk Empire") as Detective Pete Marino, Simon Baker ("The Mentalist") as FBI profiler Benton Wesley, and Ariana DeBose ("Schmigadoon!") as Kay's niece Lucy Watson.
