With new unfolding revelations and present-day consequences, this mini-series will provide audiences with a riveting journey into a family where reputation is everything and where things are never how they appear."

Effie, the 24-year-old woman behind the Instagram account House of Effie that first anonymously shared allegations against The Social Network actor, accused Hammer of sexual assault in a four-hour incident that she says occurred in 2017. In March, the woman appeared in a press conference alongside her attorney Gloria Allred and accused him of rape and physical abuse.
Shortly after the press conference, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed the actor was being investigated in a sexual assault case that was opened on Feb. 3.
Armie has denied the allegation.
In January, Armie departed Shotgun Wedding with Jennifer Lopez and the Watergate series Gaslit starring Julia Roberts and Sean Penn. The actor was also dropped by his talent agency and longtime publicist in February, and was recently dropped from the upcoming thriller Billion Dollar Spy, according to Variety.
