Candy Morrison (Barbara Hershey), is bored with her life as a wife and mother in a small town. She yearns for excitement and finds it in the arms of her husband's close friend, Stan Blankenship. But, the passionate affair ends almost as soon as it began. A few weeks later, Stan's wife is found brutally murdered, axed to death. Never before in the town's history has someone been killed in such a violent manner. Unbelievably, Candy becomes the prime suspect. Is Candy merely a scapegoat? Or, does she harbor a secret that could push her past the brink of insanity? (official distributor synopsis)
