 Video preview!Academy Award winners Marcia Gay Harden and Olympia Dukakis, and Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominated Treat Williams star in this four-hour mini-series based on a true crime love story. Feeling suffocated by a marriage in which she feels increasingly unappreciated and misunderstood, Jenny Moran finds herself in secret awe of the family life and upscale lifestyle of the successful Dr. Stephen Carrow, who worships at the church where she is employed as an organist. When Jenny innocently chooses to bring her ailing father to the highly regarded Stephen for a consultation, she quickly finds herself relishing the newfound attention of the charming doctor. Their relationship continues and intensifies after her father's death. Soon, Jenny shocks her husband, Matt, her children and mother by leaving home. At Stephen's urging, she even agrees to accuse Matt of abuse. Calling Jenny's move a part of God's plan, Stephen begins an illicit affair with the adoring Jenny -- and tells her he will soon leave his wife. When Stephen's wife is fatally shot at home, his alibi is quickly disproved -- and he ends up confessing to the murder. But his temporary insanity plea is in jeopardy when the shocked Jenny dutifully informs the police of their affair. Vehemently denying the liaison, Stephen challenges Jenny's mental health -- and begins a campaign, with the help of his devoted church circle, to discredit and humiliate her. Despite Jenny's disloyalty and her continued resistance to return to him, Matt cannot bear to see how emotionally fragile Jenny has become -- and vows to protect her from the church members who will stop at nothing to get Stephen acquitted. |
