Dr. Felix Polk was a married psychologist living in Berkeley, California. At forty years old, he had a successful practice and a towering reputation - until he began a scandalous affair with one of his patients: Susan Bolling. She was fifteen years old. After divorcing his first wife, Felix married Susan. Susan would later claim that her marriage was built on lies, manipulation, and psychological abuse. She tried to divorce Felix, but no settlement could be reached. Susan seemed to believe that Felix had stashed up to $40 million in a secret bank account in the Caribbean. She wanted her half - or else...In October 2002, Felix was found stabbed to death in his own home. Susan insisted she acted in self-defence. But what would a jury think when Susan - claiming she was the victim of Felix's manipulation - became her own defence attorney? This is the true story of marriage, murder, and mind games.
