THE SINNER is an eight episode close-ended series, The Sinner follows a young mother (Jessica Biel) who, when overcome by an inexplicable fit of rage, commits a startling act of violence and to her horror has no idea why. The event launches an inverted and utterly surprising crime thriller whose driving force is not the “who” or the “what” -- but the “why” -- as an investigator (Bill Pullman) finds himself obsessed with uncovering the woman's buried motive. Together they travel a harrowing journey into the depths of her psyche and the violent secrets hidden in her past.
In this episode, Ronit Kirchman gives us a detailed breakdown of her music for THE SINNER.

You'll hear how she balances deeper and darker colorations in her music with subtle religious references and lastly action vibes carried by propulsive synths and beats.
