Created by Veronica West (High Fidelity) and to be directed by Sam Miller (I May Destroy You), Surface is described as an “elevated thriller about a woman’s quest to rebuild her life after a suicide attempt, and her struggle to remember — and understand — everything that led up to the moment when she jumped.”
