Jon Bernthal as Detective Jack Harper and Tessa Thompson as Anna
What is His & Hers about?
Set in the “sweltering heat” of Atlanta, news anchor Anna begins to fade away from her friends and career as she retreats into “haunted reclusion.”
The synopsis continues: “But when she overhears talk about a murder in Dahlonega – the sleepy north Georgia town where she grew up – Anna is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers.
“Detective Jack Harper (Bernthal) is strangely suspicious of her involvement, chasing her into the crosshairs of his own investigation.”
