Born into a chaotic world, Aileen Carol Wuornos never seemed able to catch a break. One would think that the world outside of her home would be less cruel after she spent years suffering so many sexual assaults at the hands of her own grandfather, neighborhood kids, and supposedly her brother. Unfortunately, the outside world had other plans for her. 

While this may seem like the setup for a case of a battered woman who endured years of trauma, it turns out that Aileen lived long enough to see herself morph into the villain and seven lives would be snuffed out by her hand.
