After the film's debut at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, Creator/{{Netflix}} picked it up for distribution. The film received a limited theatrical engagement before being released on the platform on October 26, 2022.

!!Tropes:
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: While the real Amy kept her cardiomyopathy a secret, it wasn't because it was so advanced that she needed a heart transplant like in the film. In reality, it was manageable with a pacemaker and medication, and she hid it so she wouldn't be fired and lose the good pay.
* SecretKeeper: Exploited. Amy has been hiding her cardiomyopathy from her employers at the hospital for fear of dismissal, and wants to keep working so she will be eligible for health insurance that will pay for the heart transplant she needs. She discloses this to Charlie, who promises to keep this secret -- which in turn helps Amy trust him. As a result, she's initially unwilling to believe that he might be a killer because of the close bond she thinks they have, and then later she worries that he might disclose it in retaliation.
* SerialKiller: Charlie is a nurse who stealthily [[SickbedSlaying kills several patients at several hospitals by injecting them with inappropriate medications]]. He was able to get away with it for a long time because the hospitals were more interested in protecting their reputations than prosecuting him.
* SickbedSlaying: Charlie kills his patients by injecting insulin into their IV bags.
* StrugglingSingleMother: Amy is a single mother, and she has to keep working long hours at the hospital to support her daughter and obtain health insurance for herself.
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: A textual epilogue reveals that Charlie was convicted for life, and that Amy was able to receive heart surgery and moved to Florida.
