But after years of searching for the culprit, her fellow investigator (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) finds a new lead that could help them get justice—but not before the case gets very complicated. Nicole Kidman also stars as the District Attorney supervisor on the team, and the film was written and directed by Billy Ray (whose work on _Captain Phillips_ won him an Academy Award nomination). _Secret in Their Eyes_ opens in theaters Oct. 23.
