Adapted from the book The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness and Murder, the film sees Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) portray Charles Cullen, an American serial killer who confessed to murdering up to 40 patients during his career as a nurse.

The film also stars another Oscar winner in Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye), who plays a nurse colleague of Cullen’s who comes to suspect that he is responsible for a series of mysterious patient deaths.

“Amy (Chastain), a compassionate nurse and single mother battling a life-threatening heart condition, is pushed to her physical and emotional limits by the harsh and demanding night shifts in the intensive care unit. But help arrives when Charlie (Redmayne), a thoughtful and empathetic nurse, starts on her ward,” reads the plot synopsis from Netflix.

“As they share long nights in the hospital, the two develop a strong and devoted friendship, and for the first time in years, Amy truly believes in her future and that of her young daughters.

“But after a series of mysterious patient deaths sparks an investigation that points to Charlie as the prime suspect, Amy is forced to risk her life and the safety of her children to uncover the truth.”

Directed by Oscar nominee Tobias Lindholm (A Hijacking, A War) and written by Oscar nominee Krysty Wilson-Cairns (1917, Last Night in Soho), The Good Nurse arrives on Netflix on October 26.
