Overview

When the disappearance of a young girl grips the city of Baltimore on Thanksgiving 1966, the lives of two women, Maddie Schwartz and Cleo Sherwood, converge on a fatal collision course.

Why fans love it

Set against the backdrop of Baltimore in 1966, the miniseries examines the intersection of two very different lives. As Maddie Schwartz navigates the restrictive boundaries of her role as a Jewish wife, she attempts to carve out an identity through investigative journalism. Her path forces a confrontation with the city's entrenched racial tensions and the illicit world of gambling, grounding a suspenseful murder mystery in a specific, volatile era.

The narrative threads span back as far as the 1940s to explain how a missing girl can dismantle the social order of a community. Natalie Portman leads a cast that illustrates the stark divide between those who can afford to be seen and those who are systematically kept in the shadows. By focusing on these disparate experiences, the show frames a crime story as a study of public perception and private survival.
