Synopsis of The Girlfriend

Laura has it all: a brilliant career, a loving husband and a son, Daniel. That orderly life begins to crumble when Daniel introduces her to Cherry, his new girlfriend, who completely upends the family's balance. Laura is suspicious of her from the very start and believes Cherry is hiding something. The psychological thriller miniseries, created by Naomi Sheldon and Gabbie Asher based on Michelle Frances's novel, is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Robin Wright, who directs alongside Andrea Harkin, stars alongside Olivia Cooke and Laurie Davidson, and explores love, obsession, ambition and power through the eyes of a mother.
