Although it's still early days in production, we've managed to get a sneak peek into the plot of His & Hers. While details are limited, the synopsis gives us a glimpse of what to expect from this upcoming Netflix limited series. The official synopsis, as per Variety, reads:

"Set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna (Thompson) lives in haunting reclusivity, fading away from her friends and career as a journalist. But when she overhears about a murder in Dahlonega – the sleepy town where she grew up – Anna is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers. Detective Jack Harper is strangely suspicious of her involvement, chasing her into the crosshairs of his own investigation. There are two sides to every story: his and hers, which means someone is always lying."
