What is the adaption and story all about?

In the upcoming series The Girlfriend, Robin Wright stars as Laura, a woman with a successful career, a loving husband, and a devoted son, Daniel. However, her life is turned upside down when Daniel introduces his girlfriend, Cherry (played by Olivia Cooke).

The official plot synopsis from Amazon: “After an uncomfortable first meeting, Laura grows convinced that Cherry isn’t who she says she is,” the official logline reads. “While no one else can see what she sees, Laura refuses to stand by and watch Daniel be deceived. She’ll do anything to protect him. As things go from bad to deadly, the question is, is Cherry a manipulative social climber? Or is Laura paranoid and possessive?”
