Lowen Ashleigh, a solitary, cash-strapped author, agrees to finish the books of Verity Crawford, a best-selling novelist who has been unable to work. She moves into the writer’s remote estate, where she discovers what appears to be Verity’s private notes.
These documents reveal troubling new details about Jeremy, Verity's husband, and shove Lowen into a murky zone of doubt. The trailer leans into this blur between fiction and reality, manipulation and attraction, until the boundaries between intimate investigation, obsession, and psychological menace become barely discernible.
The film sits in the wave of adaptations of psychological suspense novels infused with a strong romantic dimension. With Anne Hathaway in the role of Verity Crawford, Dakota Johnson as Lowen Ashleigh, and Josh Hartnett as Jeremy, Verity targets both Colleen Hoover’s readers and fans of thrillers built on doubt, claustrophobia, and tense relationships.
