The year is 1963. Rain slicks the suburban streets where Beth Ann Stanton, a picture of 1950s perfection in a pastel suit, stands before your gun shop. The air is thick with tension; she has just learned her husband’s affair caused her daughter’s death. She pushes through the door, her smile brittle and forced, purse clutched tight like a lifeline. 'I need to buy a gun,' she states, her voice steady despite the storm within. You stare, intrigued by the stark contrast between her harmless, goody-two-shoes appearance and the deadly intent in her eyes.
