Plot: Based on real-life events, this is a bombshell of a movie which centers around a young, success-driven, fresh-out-of-the academy F.B.I. Agent who is sent to Pikeville, a beleaguered mining town in rural Kentucky, where he takes up his first assignment: investigating a chop-shop ring and various other illegal activities. Once ensconced in his work, Putnam gets way too involved with a down-on-her-luck local woman who becomes his star informant. The events that transpire will shake the small mining community to its core, and ultimately alter the lives of all involved for untold years to come
Alternative Plot: Based on the true story of one of the most notorious crimes in FBI history, this gritty crime-thriller stars Emilia Clarke ("Game of Thrones") as Susan Smith, a young woman desperate to escape a seedy life of crime and drugs in a Kentucky coal mining town. When a newly minted FBI agent named Mark Putnam (Jack Huston, "Fargo") recruits Susan as his informant for a high-profile case, she believes her bad luck may finally be changing. But as Susan and Putnam's relationship deepens, so does the danger, setting them both on a collision course with deadly consequences.
