Candy Montgomery is a 1980 housewife and mother who did everything right - good husband, two kids, nice house, even the careful planning and execution of transgressions - but when the pressure of conformity builds within her, her actions scream for just a bit of freedom. Until someone tells her to shush. With deadly results.
