A gripping metaphysical thriller based on Lauren Beukes’ best-selling novel, award-winning actress, executive producer and director Elisabeth Moss stars as Kirby Mazrachi, a Chicago newspaper archivist whose journalistic ambitions were put on hold after enduring a traumatic assault. When Kirby learns that a recent murder mirrors her own case, she partners with seasoned, yet troubled reporter Dan Velazquez, to uncover her attacker’s identity. As they realize these cold cases are inextricably linked, their own personal traumas and Kirby’s blurred reality allow her assailant to remain one step ahead. But as the sole surviving victim of what appears to be a decades-long killing spree, Kirby fearlessly takes matters into her own hands, reclaiming control of shifting reality in an effort to confront her attacker once and for all.
Shining Girls was created by Silka Luisa and stars Elisabeth Moss, Jamie Bell, Wagner Moura, Phillipa Soo, Chris Chalk, Amy Brenneman, Erika Alexander, Madeline Brewer, and Christopher Denham.
