Kim and Justin's story begins in Louisiana, where they meet and quickly fall in love. Both are from troubled backgrounds and find solace in each other's company. They move in together and start a family, with Kim giving birth to two children. On the surface, they appear to have it all - a happy family, a beautiful home, and steady jobs.
However, things are not as they seem. Kim becomes increasingly unstable, prone to fits of rage and paranoia. She accuses Justin of infidelity and becomes obsessed with monitoring his every move. Justin, meanwhile, is struggling with drug addiction and turns to dealing to support his habit.
Their relationship reaches a breaking point when Kim becomes convinced that Justin is cheating on her with his ex-girlfriend. In a fit of jealousy, she convinces Justin to help her kill the woman. The two hatch a plan to lure her to a remote location under the guise of a drug deal, where they shoot her and leave her for dead.
The murder sets off a chain of events that ultimately leads to Kim and Justin's downfall. They are caught by police and charged with first-degree murder. During the trial, their relationship is put under a microscope, revealing a disturbing dynamic of manipulation, control, and toxic codependency.
