When businesswoman Kathleen Peterson is found dead after reportedly falling down a flight of stairs at her North Carolina home, the unusually bloody scene leads police to focus their attention on her husband, author and aspiring local politician Michael Peterson. While the Petersons' blended family rallies around the patriarch, the investigation quickly zeroes in on Michael's secret life, calling the couple's seemingly picture perfect marriage into question. Fact-based drama, starring Colin Firth and Toni Collette.
