Exclusive: Mickey Sumner will star opposite Elizabeth Banks in A Mistake — the medical drama from writer-director Christine Jeffs (Sunshine Cleaning) that was first announced during the 2022 Cannes Market.
Based on the novel by Carl Shuker, A Mistake follows Elizabeth Taylor (Banks), who is a gifted surgeon — the only female consultant at her hospital. But while operating on a young woman, something goes horribly wrong. In the midst of a new scheme to publicly report surgeons’ performance, Elizabeth’s life is thrown into disarray as her colleagues begin to close ranks, and even her partner (Sumner) who is a nurse at the hospital turns her back on her. Tough and abrasive, Elizabeth has survived and succeeded in this most demanding field. But can she survive a single mistake?
