The story follows Millie, played by Sweeney, a young woman determined to escape a dark past. When she lands a job as a live-in maid for the wealthy Nina and Andrew Winchester—portrayed by Seyfried and '1923' breakout star Brandon Sklenar—her dream opportunity quickly transforms into a dangerous game of deceit, temptation, and power. Behind the mansion's luxurious facade lies a series of deadly secrets that will keep audiences guessing until the very end.
The film's screenplay was written by Rebecca Sonnenshine, known for her work on 'The Boys' spinoff 'Gen V,' while acclaimed director Paul Feig takes the helm. Feig, best known for stylish hits like 'A Simple Favour' and 'Spy,' brings his signature blend of sharp tension and sleek storytelling to the project. Producers Todd Lieberman and Laura Fischer round out the impressive creative team.
