In the 1940’s, back before Tinder, or even Craigslist, there was The Lonely Hearts Club: a way for bachelors and bachelorettes to go from pen pal to spouse. However, it only takes one (or two) to ruin it all. Meet Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck: a couple who will take advantage of lonely women to reap rewards. But how far will they go?
