Sirens Logline

Devon thinks her sister Simone has a really creepy relationship with her new boss, the enigmatic socialite Michaela Kell. Michaela’s cult-ish life of luxury is like a drug to Simone, and Devon has decided it’s time for an intervention. When Devon tracks her sister down to say WTF, she has no idea what a formidable opponent Michaela will be. Told over the course of one explosive weekend at The Kells’ lavish beach estate, Sirens is an incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, and class.

Cast

  • Julianne Moore as Michaela Kell: Michaela is a philanthropist and animal activist who runs Island High Society and is the wife of billionaire Peter Kell. Her relationship with her assistant, Simone, seems too close for comfort.
  • Meghann Fahy as Devon DeWitt: Devon is on a downward spiral back in her hometown. She is funny, resilient, and fiercely protective- especially of her younger sister Simone.
  • Milly Alcock as Simone DeWitt: Simone is Devon’s sharp, charming younger sister who has hit the jackpot working as a personal assistant to a billionaire.
  • Kevin Bacon as Peter Kell: Peter Kell comes from an old money family and is the highest-status person in every room he enters. He’s an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the occasional joint. 
  • Glenn Howerton as Ethan Corbin: Ethan Corbin II is a dear friend of the Kells and a lifelong bachelor who lives next door. He’s a regular at the yacht club and rapidly burns through his trust fund.
