The series is based on "the disturbing stories surrounding a Midwestern couple who adopts a girl with a rare form of dwarfism".
"But as they begin to raise her alongside their three biological children, mystery emerges around her age and background, and they slowly start to suspect she may not be who she says she is," reads the official synopsis.
"As they defend their family from the daughter they’ve grown to believe is a threat, she fights her own battle to confront her past and what her future holds, in a showdown that ultimately plays out in the tabloids and the courtroom."
Good American Family is "told from multiple points of view, as a means to explore issues of perspective, bias, and trauma".
While it is based on a true story, Pompeo recently opened up about how the creators made their own storytelling decisions in hopes of challenging the audience.
"We’re coming up with our own version of what this story could have been, so this isn’t sort of a beat-for-beat of what their experience was," she told Vanity Fair.
"It’s really what we do here, I guess, in Hollywood. We make entertainment that hopefully provokes thought, and we take a set of circumstances and put our spin on it."
