Fall River

1979. Fall River, MA, home to the notorious Lizzie Borden. The police discover a satanic cult that is practicing human sacrifice.

Satan takes a prominent role in the bizarre 1981 trial of Carl Drew, as the “Satanic Panic” incites fear across the country. Meanwhile, the lead detective in the case becomes haunted by his own investigation and pledges to undo an injustice.

Robin Murphy comes forward to tell her story, for the first time, in a prison interview. Her revelations paint a picture of corruption and neglect. An additional murder is revealed, previously thought to be unconnected to the case.

While Carl Drew appeals his case, a new witness is discovered. The pandemic disrupts the documentary but not before filmmakers return to meet with Robin Murphy a final time and then take their finings to an innocence program.
