In 1892, the quiet town of Fall River, Massachusetts, is shattered by the brutal hatchet murders of Andrew and Abby Borden, an event that immediately thrusts their daughter, Lizzie Borden, into the center of a media frenzy. Christina Ricci delivers a chilling performance as the enigmatic Lizzie, a well-bred Sunday school teacher whose calm demeanor hides a fierce will and a dark, simmering rage. As the investigation unfolds, the film explores the claustrophobic confines of the Borden household, revealing a family torn apart by greed, resentment, and dark secrets. With her sister Emma, played by Clea DuVall, standing by her side, Lizzie faces mounting public suspicion and a relentless prosecution led by a determined district attorney. Billy Campbell co-stars as the charismatic but flawed defense attorney who must navigate a maze of circumstantial evidence and societal prejudice. This gripping dramatic thriller from director Nick Gomez delves into the psychological torment of a woman accused of an unthinkable crime, crafting a tense and atmospheric portrait of a legendary American mystery that questions just how far one person will go to break free from a life of oppression.
