Premise: The murdered body of a young woman named Krista is found by Arden, a lonesome caretaker living with her irascible mother. This leads to Leah, a forensics graduate student whose sister went missing as a child, stumbling upon possible closure when Krista's body appears on her gurney. The story continues with Ruth, who in the midst of a long and intense love/hate relationship with her husband, discovers a disturbing connection between her husband and Krista's murder. Finally, Melora is a mother searching for answers about her runaway daughter Krista's troubled life and finds help in her quest from another troubled young woman.

when the premise is that long and boring, you know it's gonna be as forgettable as the title. shame cos the talent's there (uh, with a few exceptions).

I'm just worried that Josh Brolin's enormous head will block my view of Rose Byrne.
