Directed by Scott Elliott and produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall, the film stars Sigourney Weaver, Julianne Moore and David Strathairn.

Weaver was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her performance.

Alice Goodwin is a school nurse who lives with her husband Howard and two girls on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin.

After the death of the daughter of her friend Theresa Collins on Alice's property, the couple watch helplessly as the community turns against them.

In addition, Emma and Claire Goodwin, the young daughters of Weaver's character, were played by real-life sisters Dara and Kayla Perlmutter.
