In Massachusetts at the end of the 19th century, there lived a 32-year-old white woman, Liz Bolton (Christina Ritchie Christina Ricci). She is clever and beautiful, but she seldom smiles in her life. Liz's father, Andrew (Stephen McHatti Stephen McHattie), is upright and tough and has a strained relationship with the people around him. There are also serious misunderstandings and obstacles in Liz's communication with her father and stepmother Abby (Sara Botsford). On an unusually hot summer day, Mr. and Mrs. Bolton were brutally murdered at home. The case shocked the quiet town, and Liz, as an eyewitness, was undoubtedly the most suspected and was charged with homicide. The pros and cons engaged in a war of words over Liz, but no one could identify her as an angel or a demon. The reappearance of the legendary female killer, the truth is still hidden in the fog of history.
