Camille Preaker (Adams) is a crime reporter in St. Louis, who is assigned to a murder story in her hometown of Wind Gap, Missouri. She is a psychological mess, having just been released from a psychiatric hospital for various ills, and still cannot shake her acute alcoholism. The assignment comes with some baggage, as Camille’s small-town socialite mother Adora (Patricia Clarkson) is back in her life. Further complicating matters is Detective Richard Willis (Chris Messina) as a Kansas City law officer brought in to help solve the murders. Camille is about to be tested in her hometown.
Patricia Clarkson was born in New Orleans, and studied drama at Fordham University, before getting her Masters of Fine Arts from the Yale School of Drama. She broke into the movies in a big way, playing opposite Kevin Costner in the 1986 classic, “The Untouchables.” She has had a solid and memorable career track in diverse character roles in “Everybody’s All American” (1988), “Jumanji” (1995), “The Green Mile” (1999), “Far From Heaven” (2002), “The Station Agent” (2003), “Pieces of April,” (2003, nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar), “Good Night, and Good Luck.” (2005) “Married Life” (2007), The “Maze Runner” Series (2014-18) and “Learning to Drive” (2014).
