Misty (Eleazar) is on the verge of a comeback, if only she could curb her worst habits. In a narcotic-fuelled mania, she went from winning an Emmy to losing a big project helmed by ace director Jordan (Rock). Jordan, however, is ready to give Misty another chance with his forthcoming remake of Dreamgirls. It’s a coveted opportunity, but Misty has competing concerns, such as her looming eviction and her brother (Kaluuya), navigating life with bipolar disorder, who gets into serious trouble. As pressure to procure funds mounts, Misty finds herself considering an offer by her former flame (Driver) that’s simultaneously heinous and lucrative beyond her wildest dreams.
Best known for her role of Louisa Guy on Apple’s Emmy-winning series Slow Horses, led by Gary Oldman, Eleazar also starred in Netflix’s Harben Coben thriller Missing You. Other TV credits include Class of ’09 (FX) alongside Brian Tyree Henry and Kate Mara; Deep Water (ITV) with Anna Friel; the Starz miniseries Howards End with Matthew Macfadyen and Hayley Atwell; Rellik (BBC1) with Richard Dormer; and Harlots (Hulu/ITV) opposite Liv Tyler, Lesley Manville and Jessica Brown Findlay. She was also seen in Armando Iannucci’s The Personal History of David Copperfield.
