First published in 2016 by Simon & Schuster, the story centers on Ani FaNelli, a sharp-tongued New Yorker who appears to have it all: a sought-after position at a glossy magazine, a killer wardrobe, and a dream Nantucket wedding on the horizon. But when the director of a crime documentary invites her to tell her side of the shocking incident that took place when she was a teenager at the prestigious Bradley School, Ani is forced to confront a dark truth that threatens to unravel her meticulously crafted life.

The script for the film is being developed by Knoll herself with Mike Barker (Black Match, The Handmaid’s Tale, Fargo) attached to direct the mystery drama-thriller. Barker, whose previous film credits include Best Laid Plans, To Kill a King and A Good Woman, most recently partnered with the streaming platform to helm the pilot for the highly-anticipated series adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman and four episodes of the drama series Hit and Run.
