The trailer immediately reveals that Cleo is dead and becomes known as the Lady to the world. Lake, with Ingram providing a voice to get us stuck in it.
From there we are introduced to Maddie, who reveals that she was the one who found Cleo’s body and this has further fueled her dissatisfaction with her life as she wants to be more than just someone’s wife.
