Candy and Pat Montgomery and Betty and Allan Gore — two churchgoing couples — enjoy their small town Texas life... until an extramarital affair leads somebody to pick up an axe.
After a surprisingly charged moment at a church volleyball match, Candy proposes that she and Allan have an affair. Though he initially refuses, the pair soon begin strategizing their secret arrangement.
As their affair continues, Candy fears that she and Allan are at risk of breaking their first rule – no feelings. Later, Candy bristles at news that Allan and Betty have signed up for a Christian marriage retreat.
A sense of normalcy returns after Candy is forced to take stock of her own marriage, but Pat soon makes a discovery that leads him to seek answers from Sherry.
Following a grisly struggle, Candy attempts to go about her day as normal, while Allan grows concerned when his repeated calls to Betty go unanswered.
After detectives intensify their questioning, Candy retains Don Crowder as her attorney. Later, Allan admits his affair to Betty’s relatives, and Pat becomes frustrated over being kept in the dark about the case.
1980. As the trial gets underway, Allan’s testimony about Betty’s state of mind rankles her father, while Candy gets a visit from an incensed Pastor Jackie.
Despite Don’s concerns about her mental clarity, Candy testifies that she feared for her life. As they await the verdict, Pat tells Candy their lives will never be the same.
