What/If a mysterious stranger made you an offer too extraordinary to refuse? That’s the question behind Netflix’s new thriller, starring Renée Zellweger.

The Bridget Jones’ Diary star plays Anne Montgomery, a ultimate game player. When Anne presents a young, cash-strapped couple with an incredible opportunity, they have to decide what they’re willing to risk for a chance to secure a badly needed financial windfall.

From Revenge creator Mike Kelley, the series is a raw, voyeuristic examination of acceptable people doing unacceptable things. It premieres on Friday 24th May. Here’s the trailer:
