To Die For

In the charming town of Little Hope, New Hampshire, Suzanne Stone is introduced as a captivating young woman with aspirations to become a prominent broadcast journalist. Her determination drives her to seek fame and success, setting the stage for her relentless pursuit of career advancement.

Suzanne and Larry Maretto rush into marriage, despite his family's disapproval of their relationship. Initially, their union appears strong as they support each other's dreams, with Larry pledging to back Suzanne's aspirations in journalism.

Using Larry's family restaurant as a financial stepping stone, Suzanne lands an assistant role at the nearby cable station, WWEN. She is determined to climb the ranks through her relentless drive, ultimately earning a spot on the evening weather report.

To gather content for her documentary, 'Teens Speak Out', Suzanne visits a local high school. Here, she connects with troubled youths, including Jimmy Emmett, Russel Hines, and Lydia Mertz, who is enamored with Suzanne's glamorous lifestyle.

As Larry insists that Suzanne prioritize domestic life over her ambitions, she begins to see him as a hindrance. This tension escalates her determination to remove him from her life in pursuit of her goals, leading her down a dark path.

In a shocking turn of events, Suzanne manipulates Jimmy into committing murder by fabricating stories of abuse and enticing him with promises of a new life in California. She enlists Lydia's assistance by convincing her to acquire a weapon for this heinous act.

On the night of Suzanne's weather report, Jimmy and Russel execute their plan, breaking into the Marettos' home and fatally shooting Larry. The initial investigation suggests a failed burglary; however, suspicions rise as evidence begins to unfold.

As the investigation progresses, authorities discover a clip of 'Teens Speak Out' that links Suzanne to Jimmy. This pivotal moment shifts the focus onto Suzanne and her potential involvement in the murder case against Larry.

Lydia, seeking to save herself, strikes a deal with the police to record a conversation with Suzanne. Unbeknownst to her, this conversation reveals Suzanne's involvement in Larry's death, complicating the case even further.

Despite mounting evidence against her, Suzanne argues that she was entrapped and is controversially released on bail. This sparks outrage and confusion within the community, as many question the motivations behind the judicial decisions.

In the media spotlight following Larry's death, Suzanne spins a dark narrative, falsely accusing Jimmy and Russel of being drug dealers responsible for Larry's murder. This fabricated story leads to severe consequences for the teens, who face life sentences.

Larry's father, Joe, devastated by his son's murder, seeks justice through darker means. He employs a hitman, disguised as a Hollywood executive, to orchestrate Suzanne's downfall, highlighting the depth of his grief and desire for vengeance.

The hitman lures Suzanne away from her home and fulfills the dark mission, burying her body beneath the icy surface of a frozen lake. This chilling conclusion closes the chapter on Suzanne's ambition and manipulation in a tragic manner.

As Lydia's narrative catches the audience's attention and skyrockets her fame, it starkly contrasts with the grief of Larry's family. In a poignant irony, Janice, Larry's sister, practices figure skating on the same lake where Suzanne lies, symbolizing the tragic fallout.
