Il 19 maggio 1983, a Springfield, Oregon, una donna entra al pronto soccorso con una lieve ferita al braccio, sconvolta e in preda al panico. La sua unica dichiarazione è: «Qualcuno ha sparato ai miei bambini!» All'esterno, i medici trovano i tre piccoli coperti di sangue: Cheryl, sette anni, è in fin di vita, mentre Danny, tre anni, e Christie, otto anni, sono gravemente feriti. Tutti e tre sono stati colpiti a bruciapelo. La madre, Diane Downs, racconta di un attacco da parte di uno sconosciuto, ma la sua versione non convince né i medici né la polizia. Inizia così l'indagine dell'assistente procuratore distrettuale Fred Hugi, determinato a proteggere i due bambini superstiti e a raccogliere prove per accusare Diane di omicidio. Chi è veramente Diane? È una madre spietata disposta a sacrificare i propri figli per un amore impossibile, o è solo una vittima dei pregiudizi per il suo comportamento bizzarro? La sua storia solleva interrogativi su abusi subiti nell'infanzia e sulla possibilità di essere stata incastrata. La verità è complessa e difficile da accettare, specialmente per Diane, che continua a proclamare la propria innocenza.
