A Fall from Grace opens with an older woman on the ledge of a roof asking how she could be so stupid. Distracted or pushed by the wind of a helicopter, the woman falls off the roof and we’ve witnessed he first tragedy of the movie. Using rudimentary foreshadowing, we know it must somehow be related, but we don’t quite know yet. The movie escalates as quickly as any crazy relationship would but Grace asks herself all the questions we wonder; How could she let this happen? Is she really that stupid? But the worst part about questioning Grace is that we are actually questioning — Does this old woman really think this young man could ever love her? No one thinks they are dumb enough to fall for a con artist… but con artists aren’t dumb. In addition, we begin to question the law and the system as we watch a public defendant give her all.

Homecoming on @PRIMEVIDEO
From the storyline to the filming, it’s evident that this series was as carefully put together as the fictional plot. Julia Roberts plays a rookie therapist, Heidi Bergman, working in a new program with military veterans. She (and the soldiers) think the purpose of the program is to help “cure” PTSD… but they’re not privy to the truth… yet.
