  • Keitel will play Alison Meadows, who is stunning, sophisticated and underestimated in her ability to see through lies and find ways to expose them.
  • Murray will play Kevin Sullivan, the property manager of a swanky Boston apartment building. He appears confident and eager to please - a facade he maintains to conceal the fact that he knows more than he is saying. He has an agenda behind a bravado with cracking edges.
