APPLE's UNTITLED HILDE LYSIAK DRAMA

- Based on the real-life story of 11-year-old Hilde Lysiak, the drama follows a young girl (Prince) who moves from Brooklyn to the small lakeside town her father left behind. While there, her dogged pursuit of the truth leads her to unearth a cold case that everyone in town, including her own father, tries hard to bury.
