On September 14, the 10-part thriller Riviera will debut on the streaming service Sundance Now today.

Set in the south of France, Georgina (Julia Stiles from 10 Things I Hate About You and the Bourne franchise) is newly married to billionaire Constantine Clios (Anthony LaPaglia from Without a Trace) when he is killed in a yacht explosion.

She is shocked to discover the fortune that maintained his immaculate, ever-so-tasteful lifestyle is tainted with dishonesty, double-dealing, crime, and ultimately murder. Helped by Constantine’s first wife, Georgina will undergo an education in lying, double-dealing, outright theft and shocking criminality.

She has to learn fast to maintain the Clios mansion and save the family from its enemies and from itself. Hiding her bloodstained fingers inside Chanel gloves, she soon reveals herself to be an A-plus student in the brutal art of survival.
