Tony winner Annaleigh Ashford, better known for comedy (though she earned an Emmy nomination for Welcome to Chippendales), gets an emotional workout in an eight-part drama based on the true story of Melissa Moore, who has spent her adult life trying to hide the fact that her father Keith (Dennis Quaid) is a notorious murderer known as the “Happy Face” Killer. When he reaches out from prison, disrupting her family life and career as a makeup artist on a daytime TV talk show, Melissa goes public, hoping to keep an innocent man from being executed for one of her dad’s crimes. Launches with two episodes.
