In 1940s Mexico, an unhappy, overweight nurse abandons her children to take up with a womanizing drifter who resembles her idol, Charles Boyer. After she blackmails him, they begin a messy crime spree in which they murder a series of wealthy widows. Disturbing and compelling, this acclaimed film is based on the "Lonely Hearts Killers" case, the same real-life case which inspired the 1969 film THE HONEYMOON KILLERS.
