Jenn Corbin's young son finds her dead, a gunshot wound to her head and a gun nearby. It's presumed suicide, but the detective senses foul play. Jenn's life seemed picture-perfect - wealthy, beautiful, married to a successful dentist. Yet her marriage to Bart was crumbling, and she was having an affair. As the investigation delves into Bart's past, a trail of emotional abuse and infidelity emerges. Could Jenn's death be connected to another apparent suicide years earlier, when Bart was in dental school? This gripping true crime saga exposes a shocking web of secrets and betrayal behind a facade of affluence and privilege.
