Based on the novel by Bella Mackie, Grace Bernard (Taylor-Joy) is the forgotten child of Simon Artemis, a merciless billionaire. After a heartbreaking rejection, Grace decides to exact revenge. But will this deadly scheme take even more from Grace than she's already lost?
Mackie and Taylor-Joy will executive produce with Emma Moran, Sally Woodward Gentle, Lizzie Rusbridger and Lee Morris. Sid Gentle Films and LadyKiller Productions will produce.
"As soon as I turned the last page, I knew I had to be a part of bringing this story to life," said Taylor-Joy. "After some (light) stalking of the inimitable Bella Mackie, I could not be more thrilled to be collaborating with the team that is executive producers Sally Woodward Gentle, Lizzie Rusbridger, and Emma. I am looking forward to getting our hands even dirtier."
"It's been thrilling to watch the characters I wrote take on new life under this magnificent creative team," added Mackie. "Anya is the most perfect fit to play Grace: I often think she understands her better than I do."
