The series is an adaptation of Metzler’s play Elemeno Pea, which he wrote at the Juilliard School. The series centers on Devon, who finds his sister Simone having a very creepy relationship with her new boss, enigmatic socialite Michaela Kelli. Michaela’s cult-like life of luxury is like a drug to Simone, and Devon has decided it’s time to intervene.
When Devon tracks down his sister to share his unswept opinion, he has no idea what a formidable opponent Michaela will become. Set over the course of an explosive weekend on the leafy beach estate of The Kells, the series is a sharp, sexy and darkly funny study of women, power and class.
Fahy plays Devon DeWitt, who finds himself down in his hometown. She’s funny, flexible and fiercely protective – especially of her younger sister Simone, played by Alcock. Sharp and charming, Simone has hit the jackpot in her job as a personal assistant to a billionaire.
Moore plays Michaela Kell, a philanthropist and animal activist who runs the island’s top club and is the wife of billionaire Peter Kell. His relationship with his assistant Simone seems too close.
