Meaghan takes us through some dark history of the Chicago Projects that were a result of racism and segregation, before narrowing in on a terrifying murder of a beautiful 52 year old woman just trying to make it in Chicago despite her crippling paranoia and mental health diagnoses, in a city still plagued by racism in 1987.
