But the mess she left behind in San Francisco will catch up with her, as Sophie discovers once and for all, you can never outrun your past.

Pinto will play Grace, Quinn’s (Dunster) fiancé, the troubled scion of the infamous Huntley family. As the soon-to-be newest member of the Huntley family, Grace is conflicted about what she’s really signing up for and forms a special bond with Sophie.

Led by a critically hailed performance by star Mbatha-Raw, Surface is produced by Apple Studios and Hello Sunshine.
