Log Line: Infidelity turns to murder when a traveling writer and a millionaire's abused wife drift into a torrid and destructive love affair.
Synopsis: Gale Puttick has it all. Or so it seems until traveling writer Tony Romero drifts into her secret life of quiet desperation as a handyman at Puttick’s Nursery Farm, owned by Gale’s abusive husband Howard. Within a short time, Tony and Gale become involved in an obsessive and torrid affair, which results in a plot to get rid of Howard. When the first murder attempt fails, Howard decides to dramatically change his life, sell the vast expanse of valuable land he owns outside of Boston, and move the family to an isolated spot in Maine. Desperate to escape Howard’s clutches and permanently void the marriage pre-nup, Gale convinces Tony to embark on another murder scheme, which doesn’t go quite as planned. “Concord Millionaire's Wife Guilty of Murder,” scream the headlines. While Gale languishes in prison, her cherished stepdaughter Leah, the sole heiress to the fortune, falls in love with Tony and elopes with him. Having lost everything important to her, Gale commits suicide. Then, in a tragic twist of fate, Leah dies in a car accident, and the police charge Tony for her murder. But not content to rot in a cell, Tony uses talent and cunning to escape from his life of quiet desperation.
