18-year-old Nicole Brown meets 30-year-old superstar OJ Simpson, embarking on a whirlwind romance. While she maintains an exterior of the perfect housewife and mother, she privately suffers OJ's abuse and control.

Nicole files for divorce, entering a new phase of her life which includes a dangerous dalliance with one of OJ's best friends. After repeated harassment from OJ and a reconciliation gone awry, Nicole draws a final line in the sand that proves to be fatal.

As Nicole's loved ones reel from the horrific news of her murder, OJ's behavior grows increasingly erratic and bizarre. With OJ placed squarely in the LAPD's crosshairs as the prime suspect, he leads them on a slow-speed chase down the 405.

The trial of the century proves to be a media spectacle. Years later, OJ's continued violent behavior and mounting legal issues raise questions about what happened to Syndey and Justin without Nicole's protection.
