Her husband was lying so close... the gun was even closer... now she was only one sin away from the Crime of Passion.

Kathy leaves the newspaper business to marry homicide detective Bill, but is frustrated by his lack of ambition and the banality of life in the suburbs. Her drive to advance Bill's career soon takes her down a dangerous path.
