Just when you thought she would be out of the acting field for some time due to the recent birth of her first child, Halle Berry is ready to start working again.

'Variety' is reporting that the Academy Award winner will star in and produce the psychological drama 'Frankie and Alice' for indie studio Access Motion Pictures in association with Reality Pictures in Motion.

Story follows a young woman struggling with multiple personality disorder and torn between who she is and a racist Caucasian alter-personality that preys upon her mind.

No production start date has been set.

'Frankie and Alice' is the second independent production for Toronto-based Access Motion Pictures, which recently completed "Phantom Punch," a Sonny Liston biopic starring Ving Rhames and directed by Robert Townsend.
