Both a taut whodunit and a haunting snapshot of the effects of a
violent crime, Little Threats tells the story of a woman who served
fifteen years in prison for murder...and now it's time to find out if
she's guilty.
In the summer of 1993, twin sisters Kennedy and Carter Wynn are
embracing the grunge era and testing every limit in their privileged
Richmond suburb. But Kennedy's teenage rebellion goes too far when,
after a night of partying in the woods, her best friend, Haley, is
murdered, and suspicion quickly falls upon Kennedy. She can't remember
anything about the night in question, and this, along with the damning
testimony from a college boy who both Kennedy and Haley loved, is enough
to force Kennedy to enter a guilty plea.
In 2008, Kennedy is released into a world that has moved on without her.
Carter has grown distant as she questions Kennedy's innocence, and
begins a relationship with someone who could drive the sisters apart
forever. The twins' father, Gerry, is eager to protect the family's
secrets and fragile bonds. But Kennedy's return brings the tragedy back
to the surface, along with a whole new wave of media. When a crime show
host comes to town asking questions, believing the murder wasn't as
simple as it seemed, murky memories of Haley's death come to light. As
new suspects emerge and the suburban woods finally give up their
secrets, two families may be destroyed again.
