Starring Justine Machado, the drama follows her character, Dolores Roach, who is recently released from prison after 16 years. She returns to Washington Heights only to find the New York City neighborhood gentrified, her family long gone and boyfriend missing. After reuniting with an old stoner friend, Luis (Alejandro Hernandez), he allows her to live and work as a masseuse under his empanada shop, but when her stability is threatened, her and Luis use some Sweeney Todd-inspired methods to survive.


Other cast members include Kita Updike as Nellie, K. Todd Freeman as Jeremiah and multiple Grammy award winner Cyndi Lauper who will reoccur as Ruthie, a Broadway theatre usher who moonlights as a private investigator and tries to reveal Roach’s “true colors.” The series is also from Blumhouse and the producers of M3gan, which means horror elements will not be off the table.
