Jennifer and Nikolaj's new AppleTV series is based on the best-selling novel of the same name. She plays Hannah, a woman who forms a relationship with her teenage stepdaughter as they try to uncover the truth behind why her husband - played by Nikolaj - has gone missing.

Nikolaj has been married to his wife since 1997

The book's synopsis explains: "Before Owen Michaels disappears, he smuggles a note to his beloved wife of one year: Protect her. Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows exactly to whom the note refers—Owen’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey.

"Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. Bailey, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother."

It continues: "As Hannah’s increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, as the FBI arrests Owen’s boss, as a US marshal and federal agents arrive at her Sausalito home unannounced, Hannah quickly realizes her husband isn’t who he said he was. And that Bailey just may hold the key to figuring out Owen’s true identity and why he really disappeared.

"Hannah and Bailey set out to discover the truth. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen’s past, they soon realize they’re also building a new future—one neither of them could have anticipated."
