The film will be based on the book by New York Times columnist Joe Sharkey, which tells the true story of a newly-married FBI agent who after been assigned to an Appalachian mountain town in Kentucky starts an affair with an local woman.

She becomes his star informant and sees him as her means of escape from her impoverished life in the small mining town.

However the story ends in disaster, leading to her murder and the first ever conviction of an FBI agent for murder.

Production is due to start later this month.
