August 4, 1892 is a hot day in Fall River, Massachusetts. The Borden house is quiet until 30-year-old Lizzie screams that her father has been killed. Shortly thereafter, the body of her stepmother is discovered. The murders are gruesome. There are no witnesses; no clues; and within days, suspicion falls squarely on Lizzie Borden.
