Plot

A small town is shocked by the brutal ax murder of a woman, Peggy Blankenship. However, they are even more shocked when a reserved neighboring woman, Candy Morrison, who is a wife and mother, becomes the chief suspect. During the investigation, she is placed under hypnosis which reveals a different personality completely.

The film is based on the story of Wylie, Texas, housewife Candy Montgomery's murder of Betty Gore in 1980, and sometimes is titled Evidence of Love, after the 1984 book from which it was adapted.[2]
